Original patch from: gentoo/src/patchsets/glibc/2.9/1073_all_glibc-ldbl-nexttowardf.patch

 -= BEGIN original header =-

 ripped from Debian

 this change was made to generic __nexttowardf, but not the long double version

 2008-05-05  Aurelien Jarno  <aurelien@aurel32.net>

 	* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128/s_nexttowardf.c: Include float.h.

 	(__nexttowardf): Use math_opt_barrier and

 	math_force_eval macros.  If FLT_EVAL_METHOD is not 0, force

 	x to float using asm.

 -= END original header =-
