fenv.h that are currently inlined.
The definitions are provided in fenv.c via 'extern inline'
declaractions. This assumes the compiler handles 'extern inline' as
specified in C99, which has been true under FreeBSD since 8.0.
The goal is to eventually remove the 'static' keyword from the inline
definitions in fenv.h, so that non-inlined references all wind up
pointing to the same external definition like they're supposed to.
I am deferring the second step to provide a window where
newly-compiled apps will still link against old math libraries.
(This isn't supported, but there's no need to cause undue breakage.)

with r219571 and re-enable building of cbrtl.
Implement the long double version for the cube root function, cbrtl.
The algorithm uses Newton's iterations with a crude estimate of the
cube root to converge to a result.

macro expand to __isnanf() instead of isnanf() for float arguments.
This change is needed because isnanf() isn't declared in strict POSIX
or C99 mode.
Compatibility note: Apps using isnan(float) that are compiled after
this change won't link against an older libm.

someone thought it would be a good idea to copy z_abs() to libm in 1994.
However, it's never been declared or documented anywhere, and I'm
reasonably confident that nobody uses it.

adds two new directories in msun: ld80 and ld128. These are for
long double functions specific to the 80-bit long double format
used on x86-derived architectures, and the 128-bit format used on
sparc64, respectively.
