Thanks, Erik. GCC supports -ffp-contract since 4.6. Clang has -ffp-
contract too. Question is beginning from which version. That's why I'd
expect for those flags to work on linux. Is there anything else I need
to check?

Would it be preferred if I moved this into a block like this?

ifeq ($(TOOLCHAIN_TYPE), gcc)
   [...]
endif
Yes, making it conditional on toolchain type is what David was after. You can also consider adding a capability check if you know that versions of the compiler that should still work don't have the feature.

Hi,

Cross-posting this review-thread on core-libs-dev and build-dev as
this
is a build change, but affects fdlibm which is core-libs.

With JDK-8170153 optimization for fdlibm code has been turned on
for
ppc64 s390 and aarch64. This patch intends to turn it on on all
arches
on Linux. I've not observed any precision issues. Is there a good
reason to not use -O3 -ffp-contract=off everywhere?

Bug:    https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8210416
webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8210416/webrev.01/

Testing: - java/lang/Math, java/lang/StrictMath tests (all pass).
            - Currently running through submit repo.

A simple micro benchmark from JDK-8170153[1] shows these numbers
for
StrictMath:

Thoughts?
