how did you verify that openbsd "have not any problem with this flag" ?

(without looking at your methodology i can guarantee that openbsd
msun math library is completely broken with gcc -ffast-math too

unless openbsd explicitly disabled this option in their compiler..
they maintain their own compiler so they can implement -ffast-math
as a no-op, but a modern unpatched gcc with -ffast-math breaks all
math functions which depend on exact ieee arithmetics)
