A bug in GCC causes shared libraries linked with -ffast-math to disable denormal arithmetic. This breaks Java's floating-point semantics.
The bug is https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55522
One solution is to save and restore the floating-point control word around System.loadLibrary(). This isn't perfect, because some shared library might load another shared library at runtime, but it's a lot better than what we do now.
However, this fix is not complete. `dlopen()` is called from many places in the JDK. I guess the best thing to do is find and wrap them all. I'd like to hear people's opinions.
