Here's a summary for bug 470318:

The main issue was fixed in GCC 4.5:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.5/changes.html#x86
  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-11/msg00105.html

Solving other issues (allowed by the ISO C standard, thus not really
bugs) would have a performance impact. Thus nothing will change. The
real solution is to use SSE instead of the traditional x87 FPU for
computations that exactly need double precision (not more).
