It looks like NO_FPE_SIGNALS are being set, which would happen
if erts/configure failed to determine that they're working.
(I changed the Darwin/x86 part of erts/configure and it's
entirely possible that it got broken.)

What does `fgrep NO_FPE_SIGNALS erts/*/config.h' return?

If you run `./configure --enable-hipe 2>&1 | tee foo' and
then `fgrep floating foo', what does it say in the check
for unreliable floating point exceptions: reliable or not?
