The problem is that gcc's fp code generator on x87 is broken enough that
you can get different results for the same expression, hence the use
of the simulator which does not use extended-precision arithmetic
by default.  I'm not really sure that the simulator is unreasonably slow.

This has been the response to several of my recent observations about
gcc's algorithms, etc.  I'd prefer that if there are problems they be
fixed rather than papered over by a -fbrad's_code_don't_optimize flag.

At any rate, here's some data for compiling the larger file:
