Hello.

This is more a question than patch submission: Without the attached changes, 
the Cygwin cannot be linked for AArch64 failing on:
```
ld: cannot export _fe_nomask_env: symbol not defined
ld: cannot export fedisableexcept: symbol not defined
ld: cannot export fegetexcept: symbol not defined
ld: cannot export fegetprec: symbol not defined
ld: cannot export fesetprec: symbol not defined
```
Can anybody share some insights why are those changes needed and whether there 
is a better way how to overcome this issue?

Note that the `feenableexcept`, `fedisableexcept`, `fegetexcept` 
implementations are similarly defined inĀ 
`newlib/libc/machine/mips/machine/fenv-fp.h` for MIPS architecture as well.

Thank you,

Radek
