Use float in e_sqrt.c
The type used within e_sqrt.c(__slow_ieee754_sqrtf) was, unnecessarily and likely inadvertently, double. float is not only appropriate, but also more efficient, avoiding the need for the compiler to emit a round-to-single-precision instruction. This is the difference in compiled code: 0000000000000000 <__ieee754_sqrtf>: 0: 2c 08 20 ec fsqrts f1,f1 - 4: 18 08 20 fc frsp f1,f1 - 8: 20 00 80 4e blr + 4: 20 00 80 4e blr (Found by Anton Blanchard.)
