I assume we're talking about x86 architecture. What you
want to do is to read the status register of the FPU. IIRC
there are FPU-instructions for doing just that.
Unfortunately I don't know the linux assembler well enough
to come up with a Q&D means of doing that but hopefully one
of the gurus will jump in and save the day.
