Fwiw, the problem will be fixed in Jessie's glibc by backporting this update:

2015-02-12  Joseph Myers  <joseph@codesourcery.com>
[BZ #17964]* sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/e_sqrt.c (__slow_ieee754_sqrt): Use__builtin_fma instead of relying on contraction of
a* b + c.
 

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-glibc/glibc.git/commit/?h=jessie&id=b26c084f6eba0057b1cd93e0caf424a1d06bd97e

(Upstream it's probably one of these, didn't dig deeper:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=__builtin_fma)

Thanks for the input,
Christoph
