I recently got an email from a friend on this subject. I want to make 
clear I am the one who has not pursued fixing the situation above.

It might be something I could fix myself with some time and focus. If 
not, others - like Chris - would certainly try and help me, but I don't 
want others burning time for something I'm currently unlikely to much 
use(*).

Aside:

Thinking about the patch, it's safer to remove the -ffast-math flag, I 
think. I'm unsure how pervasive the -fno-finite-math-only flag is... 
(clang ?)

(*) - Eventually, I plan to move 'yuqk' to github as I am already using 
git for it locally. At that change I'll be coming up to speed with 
github for yuqk - and sorting base POV-Ray github issues then, should be 
easier.
