Like so.

Regstrapping on x86_64-linux in progress, it's not a regression from 4.4 
but fairly low risk, so okay for trunk if that passes?


Ciao,
Michael.
-- 
	PR middle-end/43419
	* builtins.c (expand_builtin_pow): Don't transform pow(x, 0.5)
	into sqrt(x) if we need to preserve signed zeros.

testsuite/
	* gcc.dg/pr43419.c: New testcase.
