For integer conversions, the Sparc FPU always rounds towards zero, no
matter what is set in the floating point control register.

On overflow, if the source operand is non-negative the result written
is 2147483647.  Else if the source operand is negative the result
written is -2147483648.

I suspect, like powerpc, that this test should simply be disabled
on sparc.
