Please indicate why you chose to implement the changes the way you did
by removing e_ilogb.

Same comment as I had on the logb fixes.  Please indicate that this
uses the powerpc32 version.

I assume you mean "blank" file.. but I prefer something like "dummy"
file because it's not exactly blank/empty.

I think perhaps "in" is more correct in this case since the
implementation is contained within that particular file.

Nit, remove extra empty line ^^^ in this file an others.

I have no further comments.
