I don't know, but your idea gave me something that did:

% cat mach.c
#include <ape/float.h>

double dblmin = DBL_MIN;
double dblmax = DBL_MAX;
double dbleps = DBL_EPS;
% cat builtins.c
...
	extern double dblmin, dblmax, dbleps;
...
	install(s_copy("MIN"), CONSTANT, dblmin);
	install(s_copy("MAX"), CONSTANT, dblmax);
	install(s_copy("EPSILON"), CONSTANT, dbleps);
...
