The issue seems to be (again) floating point precision. Indeed, I've compiled LibreOffice with FMA (fused multiply-add) instructions, if I disable them, i.e. passing -ffp-contract=off to GCC, then the tests succeed. Note that FMA has slightly different floating point precision than ordinary plus and mult [0, 1].
From what I understood by browsing shortly gcc enables this by default for -std=gnu* and it can be unset by #pragma STDC FP_CONTRACT OFF https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15933100/how-to-use-fused-multiply-add-fma-instructions-with-sse-avx#15933677 Could you try if adding the pragma to include/sal/config.h helps?
