This is a ridiculous argumentation: I showed you a program that contains

   - hardware instructions for testing  X == X  and X >= 0 || X <= 0
     (fcmp.eq and fcmp.ge, fcmp.le); both evaluate to false;

   - a library call to the isnanl function (note the use of -fno-builtin!);
     it evaluates to false.

IEEE 754 does not say that a NaN can be recognized by a
"fclass.m p6,p7=f8,0x1c0" instruction. But it says that a NaN can be
recognized by the fact that it does not compare equal to itself.
