I have actually tried to make the builtin working even with
-fno-signaling-nans (i.e. the default).
That is why the folding is done only if the argument is REAL_CST
or if !tree_expr_maybe_nan_p (arg).
At one point I was doing the folding when
tree_expr_signaling_nan_p (arg) (to true) or
!tree_expr_maybe_signaling_nan_p (arg) (to false) and in that
case indeed -fsignaling-nans was a requirement.
-fsignaling-nans is used in the tests nevertheless because the
tests really do care about sNaNs, so I've turned on the option
that says they should be honored.

The problem is that except for the glibc __issignaling{f,,l,f128}
entrypoints, other C libraries don't implement it, so there is nothing to
fallback to (unless we want to also implement it in libgcc.a).
For float/double, it is relatively short:
movd %xmm0, %eax
xorl $4194304, %eax
andl $2147483647, %eax
cmpl $2143289344, %eax
seta %al
movzbl %al, %eax
which e.g. for if (__builtin_issignaling (arg)) could be even simplified
further by just doing ja or jna, resp.
movabsq $9221120237041090560, %rdx
movq %xmm0, %rax
btcq $51, %rax
btrq $63, %rax
cmpq %rax, %rdx
setb %al
movzbl %al, %eax
For long double (especially Intel) / _Float128 it is larger (26 insns for
XFmode,
15 for _Float128), sure.

That seems like a glibc bug/weird feature in the __MATH_TG macro
or _Generic.
When compiled with C++ it is rejected.
