I think you need to whitelist it for all architectures.
I'd like eventually to obsolete matherr support (turn matherr /
_LIB_VERSION into compat symbols, give new symbol versions to the relevant
libm functions that go to new wrappers that just set errno without
allowing for matherr), but I suspect the part of that involving new symbol
versions that don't use matherr would be hard with the ia64 implementation
(matherr handling could still be disabled for static links, which would
deal with this whitelist, however).
