Thanks to Brian's kind comment, I have knew that the exact mechanism.
In my understannding, the conclusion is as follows;
1. GCC 3.x doesn't generate any codes for 80-bit precision.
the FPU h/w just uses the 80-bit

It's not simple floating point related error!
I fully understand that the decimal number can't be converted to the exact
floating point number. so, the result may be different from our expectation.
This problem has no

This problem is not kind of a duplicate of #323.

The i?86 FPU computes values in 80bit precision by default. Starting with
GCC 4.3 you can use -mpc64 to reduce its precision to 64bits thereby obtaining
the valid IEEE-754 result. Or you can use -mfpmath=sse to

Although I knew GCC use 80-bit format internally, I thought the result should
be same in 80-bit format.
Due to the very kind explanation about my problem, I can understand that the
result can be changed because the

Actually the 80-bit internal format will be better in converting a decimal
number into the floating point number. In this point, the 80-bit internal
format may be useful.

Subject: A incorrect result in a simple division, only in
32-bit gcc.
Although I knew GCC use 80-bit format internally, I thought the result should
be same in 80-bit format.
No, it's not that gcc uses 80 bit or 64
