new module 'fpieee'

The code needed for isnan() needs to construct a NaN or Inf object. But doing so leads to a SIGFPE by default on Alpha systems. There's only one way to get IEEE compliant behaviour of elementary arithmetic operations on this platform: instruct the compiler to emit different (more expensive) floatin
