There is, without this change, no way to control whether or not `crtfastmath.o` 
is linked independent of all of the other fast-math options. The `-mdaz-ftz` 
option would at least add a flag to explicitly control the parameter (for the 
people who care), and we can then have discussions about different ways to 
effect setting DAZ/FTZ bits or what options imply `-mdaz-ftz` in future PRs. 
That alone makes it a worthy addition IMHO; the compatibility with gcc is 
another nice feature.

That sounds to me ultimately like it should be a separate PR, although you're 
suggesting that should happen first?
