It would be more useful if you give concrete data, instead of generic
claims. Which/where floating point functions are used in the code? Which
constants? Why they are difficult to be corrected through the
configuration file?

Of course, the best solution for you is to get your specific needs
fulfilled (that seems to be an univeral truth). The best solution for us
may involve some other metric.
