Thanks a lot for your detailed clarifications! I never change the
rounding mode in my code, nor use the functions you mention, so I
think I'm safe to use clang with musl.

BTW, am I correct in assuming that these clang rounding mode issues
happen in all C runtimes in all OSs (MacOS included), or do some C
runtimes apply some hacks for preventing this behaviour? I feel a bit
puzzled about MacOS not saying a word about this in the docs. For
example, the MacOS manpages for fesetround() and for the functions you
mention, don't say a word about possible undesired behaviour with
clang.

Thanks!
