Four out of how many?
The explantion for all of those four:
   http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21067
"
Note GCC does not know about the rounding mode, in fact the round mode 
is only changeable in C99
by the #pragma which GCC does not do right now and I thought that is a 
different PR already."

How could this be considered rude, I was just stating a fact.

"
Note neg just flips a bit so it is correct anyways and there is no loss 
of precession.

This also happens on ppc darwin, I don't know what to make of this.  A 
C person has to comment to say
something about this.
"

I said someone else has to comment on this, so I was saying I don't

This is the only one which was closed, in fact I still think it should 
be a warning
unconditional.

As you can see that from above, only one really shows the case and it 
was corrected
and JSM gave a better way of doing it.
