math.h float_t and double_t not typedef'ed when FLT_EVAL_METHOD defined

[Craig Howland]

Jeff:
      The first alteration is fine, but the second (no checks on log2f macro) 
stops the patch from fixing the issue that Jordy Portman reported at the start 
of this thread.  If we want that issue to be fixed, either the log2f macro needs 
to be deleted now, or else the added gates/checks would need to go back.  I 
don't care much either way.  The gates preserve the small speed increase (1 
function call overhead) gained by the macro for those cases where it is used 
(probably almost all uses because nobody complained before Jordy did), but do 
make it messier.
