Does this same thing happen with fpcci (C-FP+ Programming language 
utilities) ?  I've been compiling a statistical program with this because I \expected it to automatically use the MAU, have greater precision and faster
processing.  Am I wrong on this?  If I am wrong, is there a difference
in the precision that can be handled by cc -kmau vs fpcc.

Thanks
