The C11 standard introduced a set of macros (CMPLX, CMPLXF, CMPLXL) that
can be used to construct complex numbers from a pair of real and
imaginary numbers. Unfortunately, they require some compiler support,
which is why we only define them for Clang and GCC>=4.7.
The cpack() function in libm performs the same task as CMPLX(), but
cannot be used to generate compile-time constants. This means that all
invocations of cpack() can safely be replaced by C11's CMPLX(). To keep
the code building with GCC 4.2, provide copies of CMPLX() that can at
least be used to generate run-time complex numbers.
This makes it easier to build some of the functions outside of libm.
lgamma(x) = -log(x) - log(1+x) + x*(1-g) + x**2*P(x) with g = 0.57...
being the Euler constant and P(x) a polynomial. Substitution of small
into the RHS shows that the last 3 terms are negligible in comparison to
the leading term. The choice of 3 may be conservative.
The value large=2**(p+3) is detemined from Stirling's approximation
lgamma(x) = x*(log(x)-1) - log(x)/2 + log(2*pi)/2 + P(1/x)/x
Again, substitution of large into the RHS reveals the last 3 terms
are negligible in comparison to the leading term.
Move the x=+-0 special case into the |x|<small block.
In the ld80 and ld128 implementaion, use fdlibm compatible comparisons
involving ix, lx, and llx. This replaces several floating point
comparisons (some involving fabsl()) and also fixes the special cases
x=1 and x=2.

at compile time regardless of the dynamic precision, and there's
no way to disable this misfeature at compile time. Hence, it's
impossible to generate the appropriate tables of constants for the
long double inverse trig functions in a straightforward way on i386;
this change hacks around the problem by encoding the underlying bits
in the table.
Note that these functions won't pass the regression test on i386,
even with the FPU set to extended precision, because the regression
test is similarly damaged by gcc. However, the tests all pass when
compiled with a modified version of gcc.

This has the side effect of confusing gcc-4.2.1's optimizer into more
often doing the right thing. When it does the wrong thing here, it
seems to be mainly making too many copies of x with dependency chains.
This effect is tiny on amd64, but in some cases on i386 it is enormous.
E.g., on i386 (A64) with -O1, the current version of exp2() should
take about 50 cycles, but took 83 cycles before this change and 66
cycles after this change. exp2f() with -O1 only speeded up from 51
to 47 cycles. (exp2f() should take about 40 cycles, on an Athlon in
either i386 or amd64 mode, and now takes 42 on amd64). exp2l() with
-O1 slowed down from 155 cycles to 123 for some args; this is unimportant
since the i386 exp2l() is a fake; the wrong thing for it seems to
involve branch misprediction.
exponent bits of the reduced result, construct 2**k (hopefully in
parallel with the construction of the reduced result) and multiply by
it. This tends to be much faster if the construction of 2**k is
actually in parallel, and might be faster even with no parallelism
since adjustment of the exponent requires a read-modify-wrtite at an
unfortunate time for pipelines.
In some cases involving exp2* on amd64 (A64), this change saves about
40 cycles or 30%. I think it is inherently only about 12 cycles faster
in these cases and the rest of the speedup is from partly-accidentally
avoiding compiler pessimizations (the construction of 2**k is now
manually scheduled for good results, and -O2 doesn't always mess this
up). In most cases on amd64 (A64) and i386 (A64) the speedup is about
20 cycles. The worst case that I found is expf on ia64 where this
change is a pessimization of about 10 cycles or 5%. The manual
scheduling for plain exp[f] is harder and not as tuned.
This change ld128/s_exp2l.c has not been tested.

my original implementation made both use the same code. Unfortunately,
this meant libm depended on a vendor header at compile time and previously-
unexposed vendor bits in libc at runtime.
Hence, I just wrote my own version of the relevant vendor routine. As it
turns out, mine has a factor of 8 fewer of lines of code, and is a bit more
readable anyway. The strtod() and *scanf() routines still use vendor code.
