not sure what you mean, the fonction's name will need to be mangled with
the target specialization. The dispatching would be made based on the
caller mode.
Could it be also a direction to help LTOization with the proper FPU
flags (follow bz target/65837) given at link time.
My concern is that this is limited to C++ for x86. I haven't checked the
details, just ideas.
