Using gcj,

gcj (GCC) 4.0.0 20040924 (experimental)

I built the following program into an executable. The expected result is false,
but when I run the executable I get true. I think the JLS (second edition) are
pretty clear that the right answer is false, since: f % Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY
should reply f. See:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/expressions.doc.html#24956

public class X {

	public static void main(String args[]) {
		System.out.println(3.14f % Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY != Float.NaN);
	}
}

Here is the ant script use to run it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="export-executable" default="build_executable">
    <target name="build_executable">
        <echo message="compiling resources   -> .o"/>
	    <echo message="compiling sources      -> .o"/>
        <apply failonerror="true" executable="${gcc-path}/bin/gcj.exe"
dest="${work}" parallel="false">
  			 <arg value="--verbose"/>
            <arg value="--classpath=${work}"/>
            <arg value="-O0"/>
            <arg value="-c"/>
            <arg value="-fassume-compiled"/>
            <arg value="-march=pentium4"/>
            <arg value="-mfpmath=sse"/>
            <srcfile/>
            <arg value="-o"/>
            <targetfile/>
            <fileset dir="${work}" includes="**/*.java"/>
            <mapper type="glob" from="*.java" to="*.o"/>
        </apply>

        <echo message="linking .o -> ${binaryname}"/>
        <apply failonerror="true" executable="${gcc-path}/bin/gcj.exe"
parallel="true">
        	<arg value="--verbose"/>
            <arg line ="-o ${dest}${binaryname}.exe"/>
            <arg value="-fassume-compiled"/>
            <arg value="-march=pentium4"/>
            <arg value="-mfpmath=sse"/>
            <arg line="--main=X"/>
            <fileset dir="${work}" includes="**/*.o"/>
       </apply>
    </target>
</project>

it is called inside another ant script that sets what file should be compiled.

Here is the output I get when doing the compilation:

Thanks for letting me know if there is a workaround this issue. I tried with gcj

with the same result.
