That bug is http://crbug.com/349543, with the most likely fix being
http://crbug.com/349053.  Relying on build flags to work around that
is incredibly fragile.  If you get a chance to work on one of those
two bugs then I imagine upstream will be happy.

In the meantime, if you want to avoid excess precision due to holding
floating point values in registers, the flag for that is
-ffloat-store.

Thanks,
Jonathan
