MAKE-ROUND Use

SwiftX HOST is apparently set for ANS use of floating point truncation by
default. I need floating point operations on the host to be rounded to
match the higher precision target floating point calculations. Words such
as ROUND and MAKE-ROUND are intended to allow this to be changed prior to
calculations but I have not gotten them to work. Even changing the FPU
control word with $322 'FPOPT 2 + H! doesn't ($322 is 64-bit round nearest;
LOCATE FP-ROUND ). Any ideas?
