Thanks for the link. However -in my case- the compile option
`-fexcess-precision=standard` does produce the same code as
`-ffloat-store`. At least for

[...]
double div; /* OPJ_FLOAT64 */
div = dd / dr;
if (div >= thresh)
[...]

Is there a longer description for `-fexcess-precision=standard` which
explains case of failures ?

Thanks again,
