const expressions should work as described in

http://port70.net/~nsz/c/c11/n1570.html#F.8.4

but it seems clang handles literals that don't
need conversion:

float x = 0.1f; // works
float y = 0.1; // fails

we may want to fix this anyway in musl to always
use the right type of literal (then it's clear
that there is no double rounding).
