I don't think it's the job of fenv.h to enumerate all bits in the FPSCR 
(that's more appropriate in fpu_control.h).  Rather, it enumerates bits 
that are useful in arguments to the fenv.h interfaces.  The *_ENABLE 
values are not relevant to the fenv.h interfaces, since feenableexcept 
(etc.) deals with converting the FE_* flag bits into appropriate values 
for enabling exception traps.
