I have no authority to comment on the validity of the patch itself,
however if it were to be approved, I would recommend changing the
description in

to simply "Allow IEEE-nonconformant code" since in many instances the
code the compiler outputs with "-mno-ieee" will still be completely IEEE
conformant.
Using "-mno-ieee" would, of course, just remove that guarantee.
In addition I would move that option below "-mieee-with-inexact".
