Could you please send a complete patch that includes both Waldemar
changes and yours ? Also, please read the comments in
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/800406/, they pointed out the fact
that -ffp-contract only exists since gcc 4.6, so its use should be made
conditional. Read the comments from Arnout, who suggests how to address
that.

Thanks a lot!
