[Vm-dev] [commit][3152] Make sure to compile the SmallFloat64 primitives.

[Andres Valloud]

I'd rather this didn't happen... now we will always have to remember 
that "float32" is really what everybody else calls "float", "float64" is 
really what everybody else calls "double", and "float80" is... who 
knows... maybe the x87 extended double...

It is a "double", what's the problem with calling it a "double"?
