You should use -ffast-math together with -D__NO_MATH_INLINES in your 
compile flags, or use a newer glibc. -D__NO_MATH_INLINES should also be 
used for -mfpmath=sse to prevent generation of x87 instructions from 
mathinline.h header when SSE code is used for FP math operators. 
Otherwise  xmm reg->mem->x87 reg moves will kill your performance.
