I emphatically and forcefully agree with Isaac. [...]
Yup, I would prefer to no touch FP optimization in a rush, too. I am not sure if this is still the case today, but I remember breaking some FP stuff in GHC when doing cross-compilation + bootstrapping with it ages ago. Can this still happen today? I don't know how GHC is ported to a brand new platform nowadays... All the rounding magic etc. has to happen as if it was executed on the target platform, not like on the platform GHC is running. More fun stuff to consider, I guess. .-)
