Hi Mark,

Sorry for unclear DFZ abbreviation, that is when compiler opened with FTZ and DAZ feature.
My operating system is Linux X64, I only tried Intel Compiler. In default optimization mode, the FTZ option is opened. Don't known why Intel make it the default option, maybe they think performance handling Subnormal number values and compatibility with some hardware.

The configure script of Python may not have precise detection on Intel Compiler, that feature can be closed with -no-ftz options.

Hi Christian,

I've not test GCC's DFZ/FTZ options, I'd like to test it myself and report here.
Maybe '-ffast-math' is the right option.

Hi Stefan,

Tried to change the mode, but not work, seems the right options is '-no-ftz'.

Regards,
V.E.O
