Re: freeze for sbcl-2.6.0

I'm not sure anymore about the (expt x constant) transforms to floats.
They produce different values from pow(). GCC and clang only convert
pow(d, 2) to d*d. Unless -ffast-math. The same goes for converting to
sqrt.
So I think all these should be hidden behind float-accuracy = 0.
But I made a change for the out of line expt to call sqrt for 1/2,
which is both faster and consistent with the inline version.
Maybe it should be reverted so that things don't swing back and forth
across multiple releases?
