ISO C99 and POSIX list a float.h as being required.  LSB (and for that matter
glibc) do not have this header.  glibc removed this header a very long time ago
as a glibc-provided header (1992) but this is because the header now lives with
gcc. The question is, should we treat it the same way - it will be provided by
the native compiler and LSB should not provide?  Or do we need it?
