Just to make a point here - in functions with -ffinite-math-only in effect
volatile double x = __builtin_nan("");
will still have a literal NaN in the IL and that's not invalid GIMPLE. You
cannot assume that no NaNs appear with -ffinite-math-only, you just
don't need to specially are about preserving them.
