commit 91f99d323b39dc0c06c40038791db9861d4b76b9

    Minimal support for ISO/IEC TS 18661-3.
    
     - GCC will set __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to 16 if __fp16 supported, e.g.
       cortex-a55/aarch64.
       - $ aarch64-unknown-elf-gcc -v 2>&1 |grep version
         gcc version 9.2.0 (GCC)
       - $ aarch64-unknown-elf-gcc  -E -dM -mcpu=cortex-a55 - < /dev/null  |grep FLT_EVAL_METHOD
         #define __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ 16
         #define __FLT_EVAL_METHOD_TS_18661_3__ 16
         #define __FLT_EVAL_METHOD_C99__ 16
     - The behavior of __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ == 16 is same as
       __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ == 0 except for float16_t, but newlib didn't
       support float16_t.
    
    ISO/IEC TS 18661-3:

    V2 Changes:
    - List Howland, Craig D as co-author since he provide the draft of comment
      in math.h.
