I would like to see it in <machine/ieeefp.h>: The synopsis section of our manpage clearly states the inclusion of <ieeefp.h>. That header file includes a machine dependent counterpart <machine/ieeefp.h>. On alpha, ia64 and sparc64 <machine/floatingpoint.h> is empty with the exception of the inclusion of <machine/ieeefp.h>. Hence, I would like to see the prototypes and/or implementation in <machine/ieeefp.h>. Since on i386 <machine/floatingpoint.h> also includes <machine/ieeefp.h>, we should be able to move the implementation on i386 to <machine/ieeefp.h> as well. If possible, I'd like to see <machine/floatingpoint.h> retired unless there's a compelling reason to keep it...
