On a newish Linux system with all defaults (I had not edited feature.h), just running 'make' built me vim with +float. That's because make ran auto/configure, which created auto/config.h, which contained '#define HAVE_POW 1', and that caused feature.h to #define FEAT_FLOAT. The HAVE_POW means that auto/configure decided my system had the pow() function (power, as in x to power y). So, I guess something went wrong on your system... I think the correct way to pass the requested feature without editing feature.h is: make DEFS="-DFEAT_FLOAT" That ends up adding -DFEAT_FLOAT to every gcc compile command, which defines FEAT_FLOAT, which should end up giving you +float. However, you would need the correct 'make clean' first (I think). It would be nice to see some straight forward docs, or at least a parsable opinion.
