That depends upon the context I'd think: the FSR contains the FP condition 
code so reloading tmp1_var will overwrite it with the old value (and SPARC is 
not a cc0 target).  Would that be safe?

In the meantime, it occurred to me that I very likely don't need to mask the 
value of tmp3_var before calling __atomic_feraiseexcept on it.  glibc does it 
but this looks unnecessary even there.
