Can you clarify this? 

IEEE754 is pretty strict on how all these things are handled
and to my knowledge all serious x86 are fully IEEE compliant.
Or are you refering to the x87 80bits expansion? While useful
that's not used anymore with SSE.

On the other hand qemu is not very good at it, e.g. with x87
it doesn't even pass paranoia.
