Except that software not working with -ffast-math is not in the wrong at all. |

It is like specifying -fno-rtti for a c++ program. If rtti is not used, this |
| 13 |
is fine. It is a part of the standard however, and this makes the compiler |
| 14 |
not except all standard-compliant code. These options are there to enable |
| 15 |
better code generation when it is known that the named features are not |
| 16 |
needed. They should never be globally enabled. |
