Yes, you are right. I must messed up several incremental builds and
clean build. While I just tried clean configure and build, I just got
warning like this:

fpu/softfloat-native.c:132:5: warning: "HOST_LONG_BITS" is not defined

That is fine to me. Though it would be better to avoid the warning. :)
