According to Kernighan&Ritchie (Appendix A, 6.2 on page 184 in my copy) 'all floating point arithmetic in C is carried out in double precision'. Therefore, if manx on the AMIGA really uses one longword for floating point evaluations it simply isn't real C and benchmarks with this compiler are pure nonsens if compared with 'correct' C-Compilers using 64bit double precision.
