This failure happens for me with hardened gcc 3.4.4, but not with vanilla gcc 3.4.4.
Puzzled me for a while; discovered that adding '-fno-PIE' worked around the failure. It occurred to me that PIE consumes a register, and on register-starved x86 perhaps this caused data to be flushed out of floating point registers into memory. Turned out indeed to be the case for the 'ifloat' tests which use in-line code. Adding '-ffloat-store' to the compilation command forces floats to be written out to memory, thus preventing extra accuracy being retained 'by accident' (see gcc info). Adding '-ffloat-store' makes the test fail consistently, regardless of -fPIE or -fno-PIE (and would also cause 'test-float' to fail as well, for what it's worth). Upshot is that I think that the test is wrong. A compound floating point operation like 'hypotf' can't be expected to retain the kind of accuracy being tested for. Anyone care to confirm/refute?
*** Bug 59558 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 69655 [details, diff] Add '-fno-PIE' to the compilation of test-float.c and test-ifloat.c OK; the simplest way to get stuff working the way it does vanilla (and presumably upstream) is to append '-fno-PIE' to the compilation of test-float.c and test-ifloat.c - the attached patch does this (and only this). Further analysis on my system shows the test is a bit pants, and that my previous worries about -ffloat-store were not relevant. I checked the assembler generated for this test, to find that the compiler cunningly works out the result itself, accurate to 23 bits, and hard-codes it so naturally the test manages to pass. Any time the compiler doesn't hard-code it (like when you specify -fPIE or -ffloat-store, why the optimisation doesn't occur I don't know) the test fails as the result has accumulated a fair amount of error as one would expect. Whether this hard-coding of the result has always been a problem or not, I don't know.
*** Bug 108381 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Just to note; fixing this failure just highlights a failure further down the line for hardened. I'm working to resolve all such failures, so don't bother with the fno-PIE patch (that in particular will probably be fixed elsewhere).

Has there been any resolution made on this problem? This hasn't every previously affected me, but apparently now does. Since this bug was openned 9 months ago and there is a patch, if there any chance we could apply it until the full fix that Kevin hinted at in comment 10 is complete? Thanks...
It's an weird old version. Let's close it.
