    Determines the program's initial floating point mode when one
    is not provided by the module that provides the main transfer
    address.

    The OpenVMS I64 Linker accepts the following keywords to set the
    floating point mode:

    Keyword                Description

    D_FLOAT, G_FLOAT       Sets VAX floating point modes.
    IEEE_FLOAT[=ieee_      Sets the IEEE floating point mode to
    behavior]              the default or a specific behavior. The
                           OpenVMS I64 Linker accepts the following
                           IEEE behavior keywords:

                              FAST
                              UNDERFLOW_TO_ZERO
                              DENORM_RESULTS (default)
                              INEXACT

    LITERAL=fp_ctrl_mask   Sets the floating point mode to a literal
                           control mask. You can express this mask as
                           a decimal (%D), octal (%O), or hexadecimal
                           (%X) value (for example %X09800000,
                           which is equivalent to the default, IEEE_
                           FLOAT=DENORM_RESULTS).
