+<ul>
+ <li>The behavior when compiling with <code>-fexcess-precision=standard</code>
+ (e.g., implied by <code>-std=c99</code>) on s390(x) targets can now be
+ controlled at configure time with the flag
+ <code>--enable-s390-excess-float-precision</code>. When enabled, gcc will
+ maintain previous behavior and evaluate float expressions in double
+ precision, which aligns with the definition of <code>float_t</code> as
+ <code>double</code>. With the flag disabled, gcc will always evaluate
+ float expressions in single precision. In native builds, gcc will by
+ default match the definition of <code>float_t</code> in the installed
+ glibc.
+ </li>
