I just had a look to the doc patch in
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-01/msg00273.html:

...
+Note that while the throughput of the sequence is higher than the throughput
+of the non-reciprocal instruction, the precision of the sequence can be
+decreased up to 2 ulp.

It looks nice, but could you add (after converting my frenglish) something
along the line "in particular the inverse of 1.0 is no longer 1.0, but
0.99999994" (or nearest(1.0,-1.0) or its C* equivalent).
