The documentation indicates that -mno-fancy-math-387 is the default
on FreeBSD, yet I do not see any code actually implementing that, and
I verified that the following

  #include <math.h>

  double f(double d) {
    return __builtin_sin(d);
  }

did generate fsin with -ffast-math as the only option.

Richard, http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-03/msg02001.html was
the last time someone really made changes in this area, though the
reference to FreeBSD predates your patch where you added OpenBSD and
NetBSD for both of which I _do_ see code in config/i386 to that extent,
unlike FreeBSD.

Am I missing something obvious, or is the patch below okay?

	PR target/37072
	* doc/invoke.texi (i386 and x86-64 Options): -mno-fancy-math-387
	is not actually the default on FreeBSD.
	Uppercase CPU.

Now that Andreas is on board, time to dust off some older issues 
of mine. :-)

I verified that current GCC HEAD generates fsincos on FreeBSD/i386
with -ffastmath (and no options otherwise), and generates a call
to a sin() function otherwise.

So, okay to apply this patch?  And if so, okay to push back to
GCC 5 and 4.9 as well?

Aehm, sorry for the delay. It is hot here ....

Fine with me as far as I can decide/approve.

At least for trunk. For 5.2, I guess you must hurry since Richi wants to 
spin a candidate tomorrow.

On 4.9, I can't decide since I have no idea about the release planning. 
Have to inform myself.


Thanks,
Andreas
