The rule in glibc is that architectures without support for rounding modes 
still define FE_TONEAREST, and return it from fegetround and accept it for 
fesetround, reflecting that to-nearest is the default (and only) rounding 
mode.

That is, only architectures that don't support to-nearest at all should 
fail to define FE_TONEAREST (and libquadmath doesn't support any such 
architectures anyway).
