bug#36338: guile-2.2.5 fails to build with -ffast-math

[Cyprien Nicolas <cyprien@nicolas.tf>]

Hello,

I apologize if the issue was already reported, but I didn't find a
previous record.

At Gentoo, users build packages themselves, and have the freedom to
choose the CFLAGS they want.

We had several reports [1,2] from users unable to build guile with
-Ofast. Adding -fno-fast-math make the build pass.

Compiling with -O0 -ffast-math also fails.

I'm not sure if you can solve this. On our side, we will append
-fno-fast-math to compiler's flags.
