I think reverting the patch is the wrong solution. If you use -ffloat-store, the tests are successful. The reason is that one now inlines the function and uses the result from the register instead from memory. And as the x87 coprocessor has an excess precision, the comparison fails. As on x86-64 one uses SSE it works there.
Ah, this is Return of the Revenge of PR323 Strikes Back! :-P
Could fortran be made to usefully implement -fexcess-precision=standard? I'm surprised this hasn't been more of an issue given the prevalence of big number-crunching apps in the fortran world.
