Fixed. (tested both on x86_64 and x86)

Note: the following line must be changed in STC-FENV.c (the STC that was
attached to the bug report -- the last one above).

from:
const int xxx = 0x3d; // FE_ALL_EXCEPT on Linux, i.e. the denormal-operand
                      // exception is excluded on Linux

to:
const int xxx = 0x3f; // Cygwin allows the denormal-operand exception;
                      // Linux (Andreas Jaeger) does not.
                      // This exception is not defined by the IEEE 754
                      // standard (Floating-Point Arithmetic)

(denormal-operand = input of a subnormal value)

Regards,
Henri
