At the risk of self-aggrandizement, I'm gonna go ahead here and suggest building stacy (my path tracer project, http://dsource.org/projects/stacy ) on -O0 and -O3 -ffast-math and compare the output for a complex scene - the code is very template-heavy and has a documented propensity towards breaking compilers in new and unexpected ways. :)
