Comment (by mcayland):

 I wonder if this is a side-effect of now compiling with -ffloat-store.
 Nicklas, can you please try the following:

 - "make clean" in your 1.5 source tree
 - Re-run configure
 - Remove -ffloat-store from NUMERIC_FLAGS in liblwgeom/Makefile
 - "make install"

 Then re-run your PostGIS test again and see if it makes a difference.

 Mark.
