[Bug middle-end/23470] New: a*a (for floats) is not considered always postive

["pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

While looking into PR 23452, I noticed this:
double pow(double, double);
int f(double a, double b)
{
  if (((a*a) + (b*b))<0)
    link_error();
}

There should be no reference to link_error as a*a is always postive.  Note really 
__builtin_pow (a, 2.0e+0) is what is folded to first.
