libc/uClibc: add option to enable fenv

Support for fenv.h is a little bit more tricky that enabling it only
for x86-32 is not right.

Add an option for the user to choose whther to install fenv.h or not.

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
