filtering encourages users to continue to put -ffast-math into their global CFLAGS ... this is just plain wrong ignoring compile issues, fast math can break runtime code that actually requires the IEEE compliant behavior ... the only people who know whether -ffast-math is safe are the upstream maintainers ... leave using the flag to them -mike
