You can use preprocessor too, either just surround the whole test
with #if __SIZEOF_INT__ == __SIZEOF_FLOAT__ and similar,
or select the right type through preprocessor
#if __SIZEOF_INT__ == __SIZEOF_FLOAT__
#define FLOATCMPTYPE int
#elif __SIZEOF_LONG__ == __SIZEOF_FLOAT__
#define FLOATCMPTYPE long
#else
...
or __typeof, etc.
