I don't think it's correct.  It will break bootstrapping GCC from other
ISO C++11 compilers, you need to at least guard it with #ifdef __GNUC__.
And IMO it's just hiding the real problem.

We need more info of the "particular machine".  Is this a hardware bug
(i.e. the machine violates the AArch64 spec) or a GCC code generation
issue?  Or should we generally use -ffp-contract=off in BOOT_CFLAGS?
