Well, I could, but they wouldn't be terribly pleased.  Your error is
to assume that IEEE 754 applies to composite operations, whereas it
actually applies to each basic one in turn.  To see what is going on,
you should print out the balues in binary, octal or hexadecimal, for
each sub-operation.

As far as I can see, gcc is doing nothing wrong.
