I think that's a reasonable thing to do, but if that's the intent, I'd prefer to have #undef's in our own float.h to make it explicit that this is what we're doing (and so that our own headers don't generate warnings, even if they're suppressed).

Sorry to be such a pain in the *ss, but I'd really like this patch in.
Then I can build/release a mingw-w64 Clang build and you'll have a lot
more testers for that platform (I hope).

Thanks!
