Log:
Backport 43470:
Get gcc to do strict IEEE math. This flag was already used for cc, just not
gcc. Without this flag, doing pretty much anything with NaNs causes
a Floating Point Exception signal. This causes the interpreter to quit.
The failing tests this fixes are: test_long.
This is somewhat equivalent to doing signal(SIGFPE, SIG_IGN).
