I recently encountered this problem and if you search through the PowerPlant
sources for __NOEXTENSION__, you'll find the PP engineers did too. The
solution they used was to just copy and paste the definitions for the
conversion routines and a few related data structures from fp.h into their
own code.

I moved that snippet into my own custom prefix file after the MSL and PP
stuff, and it worked fine. It's not exactly pretty, but it does work.

Hope that helps,

James
