If you are running it in gdb, you might be able to do:

(gdb) handle SIGFPE nopass
Signal        Stop      Print   Pass to program Description
SIGFPE        Yes       Yes     No              Arithmetic exception

or

(gdb) handle SIGFPE nostop nopass
Signal        Stop      Print   Pass to program Description
SIGFPE        No        Yes     No              Arithmetic exception
