Synopsis: gcc with -O2 generates wrong code

State-Changed-Why:
    Probably not a bug. On x86, at -O2, floating point values
    may be kept in FP registers when doing comparison with
    others stored in memory. Now x86 FP registers have
    extra-precision over a 'double', which may invalid
    an equality comparison. Compile your code with '-ffloat-store'
    if it relies on exact IEEE floating-point semantics.
