Quite off-topic, but as far as I remember from GNU Fortran days, if you
want to avoid `excess precision' on an x86 system, you generally need to
spill registers with (the equivalent of) GCC's -ffloat-store, and take
the performance hit. Most of the time you don't, of course, and the
Paranoia test, for instance, passes without -ffloat-store.
