You are mistaken, we think GCC isn't buggy about 323 because the C/C++
standards do not tell us to do better than this. If you have higher
expectations about floating point and C/C++, you should file a bugreport
against the C/C++ standards.
Really, we can't make everybody happy. The best we can do is to adhere the
international well-known ISO/ANSI standards.
