Why isn't the testsuite getting GCC's <float.h> included instead of the
system one? That seems to me to be a bug - where GCC provides a header
required of freestanding implementations, testcases should be able to
include it. The point of this testcase is to remind target maintainers
that they need to update their <float.h>, by failing until they do so.
