I agree the quote I used is unclear. The complete paragraph:

The macros

MATH_ERRNO
MATH_ERREXCEPT

expand to the integer constants 1 and 2, respectively; the macro

math_errhandling

expands to an expression that has type int and the value MATH_ERRNO, 
MATH_ERREXCEPT, or the bitwise OR of both. The value of math_errhandling is 
constant for the duration of the program. It is unspecified whether 
math_errhandling is a macro or an identifier with external linkage. If a macro
definition is suppressed or a program defines an identifier with the name 
math_errhandling, the behavior is undefined. If the expression 
math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT can be nonzero, the implementation shall 
define the macros FE_DIVBYZERO, FE_INVALID, and FE_OVERFLOW in
<fenv.h>.
