Compile options: -std=gnu99 -pedantic -H -fno-builtin -frounding-math
Since I take the gcc that comes with Fedora Core Linux 9 and 10, I have
no idea how GCC was configured.  
The output shows that all the file scope (translation time) precisions 
used were small (ULP is same magnitude as FLT_EPSILON), while all the 
local scope (runtime) precisions used were large (ULP same magnitude as 
LDBL_EPSILON).  All six should be the same magnitude as LDBL_EPSILON for 
this hardware.  
None of the messages with 1:, 2:, 3:, 7:, 8:, 11:, or 12: should be printed 
if things are done as per the C standard.  
A large precision implies a small magnitude ULP value (closer to zero).
