If more than 50 people report it, independently, as a bug then it sure is a bug. You might argue whether technically it is a bug, but from user's perspective it is a bug (and you have over 50 duplicates as an evidence). As such it has to be dealt with more positively.
Concerning the extended precision, there are two problems.
First there is a bug in GCC concerning casts and assignments (see ISO/IEC 9899: 5.1.2.3#13, 6.3.1.5#2 and 6.3.1.8#2).
But even this were fixed, many users would still complain. That's why I think that the Linux kernel should set the CPU in double-precision mode, like some other OS's (MS Windows, *BSD) -- but this is off-topic here.
