If USE_SOFTFLOAT_STRUCT_TYPES is defined then float16/32/64 are
also struct types and use the make_ and const_ macros as above.

(We should check whether USE_SOFTFLOAT_STRUCT_TYPES still builds,
it tends to bitrot. If it does then maybe we should use it by default
since gcc 3 is now just a memory...)

Yes (and the same implementation would be nice too).
