I originally used log2(Tmp) but switched to ln to check if it was
correct. Thanks for noticing that, I changed it back to log2.

The current output with the pascal code looks like it did when FLDS was
used instead of FLDL to load (%rdi). The intel code was "FLD QWORD[EDI]"
I changed this to "FLDQ (%edi)". on x32 it became FLDL and on x64 it
became FLDS. changing the line to "FLDL (%rdi)" on x86_64 fixed the last
problem I had with the asm translation.

It's all very confusing. Is fldl loading a 32bit floating number? The
variable at (%rdi) is a double. flds makes me think it's loading a single.
