Sure. But why do you keep using a compilation mode that you know will 
generate a faulty executable for your program? I can't say much more than 
the GCC manual here: if your program relies on exact IEEE floating-point 
semantics to properly work, compile it with -ffloat-store. Otherwise 
eliminate the dependencies on the IEEE format.
