Correct, LLVM does not yet respect any of the floating point env stuff and clang does not support the related pragmas.

It is likely to require new floating point operations and some auditing of the instructions.  I think various people who were interested in Fortran support will need something similar, as the C99 floating point environment stuff was intended to make porting Fortran code easier.
