"softfloat": Unaltered files from SoftFloat v3c.

"openbsd": Unaltered files from OpenBSD 6.0. Original path is "lib/libm/src"
"openbsd/include": Compatibility headers needed to build files from OpenBSD.

Why use OpenBSD's libm? First and foremost, nearly everyone use fdlibm in a way
or another, and OpenBSD is no exception. That being said, OpenBSD comes with a
single-precision variant (which fdlibm itself lacks). And more interestingly,
this variant does all its computation in single-precision (it never upgrades to
double-precision). In our case, this is very interesting because we're doing
single-precision computation when we better performance at the cost of accuracy,
and in our cse our hardware has a single-precision FPU so switching to double
can yield much lower performances.
