RE: long double (was "strtold?")

["Howland Craig D (Craig)" <howland at LGSInnovations dot com>]

Umm, I don't understand the change to machine/ieeefp.h.  The defines
that it was using are the official names from float.h.  Adding __ as a
prefix and suffix ties it directly to gcc.  The makes it work for gcc
without float.h having been included, but won't it break other
compilers?
(There's nothing in the standards that I know of that would require
__LDBL_MANT_DIG__ to be defined, for example.)  So perhaps it did not
build as it was, but the way to fix it for all compilers is to add
#include <float.h>, I think.  (Newlib doesn't require gcc, does it?)
