I'd expect it to be a libc issue, not a compiler nor kernel thing.
What you've got is that strtod() is now returning ERANGE for an
underflowed input value, whereas before it did not. It's hard to
believe that this would depend on which compiler you compiled Postgres
with. (Maybe it could depend on which compiler you compiled libc
with, though?)
