math: Handle fabsf128 !__USE_EXTERN_INLINES

Work around the clang limitation wrt inline function and attribute
definition, where it does not allow to 'add' new attribute if a
function is already defined:

clang on x86_64 fails to build s_fabsf128.c with:

  134 | fabsf128 (_Float128 x)

If compiler does not support __USE_EXTERN_INLINES we need to route
fabsf128 call to an internal symbol.
