Cygwin: fegetenv() should not disable exceptions 

fnstenv MUST be followed by fldenv in fegetenv(), as the former disables all
exceptions in the x87 FPU, which is not appropriate here (fegetenv() ).
fldenv after fnstenv should reload the x87 FPU w/ the configuration that was
saved by fnstenv, i.e. a configuration that might have exceptions enabled.

Note: x86_64 uses SSE for floating-point, not the x87 FPU. However, because
feraiseexcept() attempts to provoke an exception using the x87 FPU, the bug
in fegetenv() will make this attempt futile here (x86_64).

Note: WoW uses the x87 FPU for floating-point, not SSE. Here anything that
would normally result in triggering an exception, not only feraiseexcept(),
will not be able to, as result of the bug in fegetenv().
