I got the same error when I reinstalled 386bsd up to patch110. So I
typed in 'make install' and that installed the new float.h header file.
Then I was able to proceed again with 'make'.

BTW: I also found that the 'obj' link in 'elvis' was wrong, and that
/usr/include/vm was an empty directory (I relinked it to the vm directory
in sys)
