It seems that many of the unit test failures happen when the function henon is involved. This function computes the Henon map with a default transient initial period of 10000 samples. The computation in the henon function is iterative and my guess is that the results are sensitive to the architecture-specific floating point representation. Would -ffloat-store help here?

-ffloat-store sometimes matters on i386, but on most architectures it is a complete nop.

Thanks for your quick reply. Are there other sources of differences in the representation of float numbers across the architectures, that might explain the different results in the henon function?
