  That's odd.  I'm guessing 'sparse' is some kind of source code parser?  For
whatever reason, the version of ieeefp.h in my cygwin installation doesn't
include any related #warning or #error.  Is sparse somehow generating that
itself?

  Not all built-in #defines come from the specs.  For the canonical list of
built-in definitions, which vary slightly between C and C++, use:

gcc -x c -E -dM - < /dev/null

g++ -x c++ -E -dM - < /dev/null
