Log Message:
x86, m68k <machine/float.h>: `Significand', not `mantissa'.

The IEEE 754 standard uses `significand' and has since its first
edition in 1985; Kahan and Knuth both use `significand' and
explicitly reject `mantissa'; `significand' doesn't have a
conflicting definition in logarithms; and in actual usage in the
floating-point and numerical analysis literature, `significand'
dominates.

No functional change intended -- comment-only.
