[Bug preprocessor/22428] New: __extension__ won't silence pedwarns about hex float constants

[bje at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The __extension__ keyword does not silence pedwarns about hexadecimal floating
point constants.  This is used by GNU libc, for example in the definition of
INFINITY:

#  define HUGE_VALF (__extension__ 0x1.0p255f)
#  define HUGE_VALL (__extension__ 0x1.0p32767L)

These macros produce warnings that cannot be silenced.  This appears not to work
because the pedwarn is generated by the preprocessor.
