Some of the compilers, which that are used to compile FreeBSD,
do not support "#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON".

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON

int
main(void)
{
   double x = 1, y = 3;
   printf ("x _ y = %la\n", x + y);
   return 0;
}

% gcc13 -c -Wall a.c
.c:5: warning: ignoring '#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS' [-Wunknown-pragmas]
    5 | #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
