So, I guess I'd agree that it should be an error.

I think i  will have the issue with the order of appearance of the options on the command line. 
// RUN: -freciprocal-math -mreassociate   -ffp-eval-method=source 
and
// RUN: -mreassociate -ffp-eval-method=source 

will depend on which order I will test for LangOpts.ApproxFunc/AllowFPReasson/AllowRecip being used or not?

The run lines above might give the same diagnostic. Unless I do something really complicated to check the order of the options on the command line?
