I tested it (the source from netlib.org, that is) with GCC-2.95,
3.3, and various 4.x on Darwin and Linux, both 32-bit and
64-bit; all versions failed with optimisation without
-mno-fused-madd, and all versions passed with any optimisation
with -mno-fused-madd.  So I would say the only bug is in
paranoia itself (namely, it flags fused multiply-add as a
flaw).

If the RTEMS version of paranoia shows different results, it
probably is time to update it?
