On x86 rint( ) is often just the fastest portable way to get round-to-nearest integer (assuming default rounding is set), so it's mostly used for that purpose, not because the caller is necessarily interested in the flags.

We don't handle FPSR like this anywhere else, so it doesn't seem like we should give it special attention here either.  While I'd like to eventually model floating-point flags correctly, I don't think it's important that we go out of our way to add fake side-effects to one instruction in isolation.
