According to the doc fast-math generates incorrect code. Has the situation
changed? In case it has doc should be updated, in case it hasn't name
should be changed and become something derogatory since there are people who
see the fast in fast-math and use it without further investigation. It is
being used in aLinux distribution and I have seen it recommended in a Linux
magazine
