c++/10902: comparing doubles is not consistent in gcc 3.3 (SuSE version)

If you use
  ../gcc-3.3/configure --prefix=/some/local/path
  make bootstrap
  make install
it will install gcc into /some/local/path, which could be a scratch 
directory in your homedir, or in /tmp. It won't overwrite any preinstalled 
files in /usr/... That's a safe way not to compromise the integrity of a 
production system. You can then run the compiler by setting PATH and 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH just for once in a shell window.

I have no clue. I'd think that SuSE might have one, but don't know.
