The __ieee754_*() funcs were meant to be compliant with the IEEE 754
standard, which is _THE_ standard governing 32 and 64 bit floating
point behavior.  The library (originally from SUN and modified by
Apple) then provided compatibility wrappers for various other standards
like sysv and posix.  As all the compatibility cruft is pretty much
useless for our purposes, it is one of the things I'm removing.
