Gentoo[1] uses an interesting technique to build both single- and
double-precision libraries (the single-precision libs have an additional
'f' in their name) from the same package.

This could be adapted for our purposes (yes, I've actually done it):

In the configure stage:
mkdir -p ${objdir}/single
cd ${objdir}/single
[run configure with --enable-float]
mkdir -p ${objdir}/double
cd ${objdir}/double
[run default configure]

In the make/install/clean/check stages:
cd ${objdir}/single && make {,clean,check,install DESTDIR=${instdir}}
cd ${objdir}/double && make {,clean,check,install DESTDIR=${instdir}}

Hope this helps.
