Thanks to Ian Lepore for testing and debugging this patch. The fenv
regression tests pass (at least for Ian's arm chip) with this change.
exp(x) scaled down by some factor, and the challenge is doing this
accurately when exp(x) would overflow. This change replaces all of
the tricks we've been using with common __ldexp_exp() and
__ldexp_cexp() routines that handle all the scaling.
bde plans to improve on this further by moving the guts of exp() into
k_exp.c and handling the scaling in a more direct manner. But the
current approach is simple and adequate for now.
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.

The original order was virtually the opposite of this.
This should not cause any functional changes at this time. The
difference is only significant when one wants to override, say, a
generic foo.c with a more specialized foo.c (as opposed to foo.S).
and trunc() to the corresponding long double functions. This is not
just an optimization for these arches. The full long double functions
have a wrong value for `huge', and the arches without full long doubles
depended on it being wrong.
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.
Warning, after symbol versioning is enabled, going back is not easy

Change the default thread library to libthr.
There most likely still needs to be a version bump for at least the
thread libraries. If necessary, this will happen later.
standard in C99 and POSIX.1-2001+. They are also not deprecated, since
apart from being standard they can handle special args slightly better
than the ilogb() functions.
Move their documentation to ilogb.3. Try to use consistent and improved
wording for both sets of functions. All of ieee854, C99 and POSIX
have better wording and more details for special args.
Add history for the logb() functions and ilogbl(). Fix history for
ilogb().
- Add nexttoward{,f,l} and nextafterl. On all platforms,
nexttowardl is an alias for nextafterl.
- Add fmal.
- Add man pages for new routines: fmal, nextafterl,
nexttoward{,f,l}, scalb{,l}nl.
Note that on platforms where long double is the same as double, we
generally just alias the double versions of the routines, since doing
so avoids extra work on the source code level and redundant code in
the binary. In particular:
ldbl53 ldbl64/113
fmal s_fma.c s_fmal.c
ldexpl s_scalbn.c s_scalbnl.c
nextafterl s_nextafter.c s_nextafterl.c
nexttoward s_nextafter.c s_nexttoward.c
nexttowardf s_nexttowardf.c s_nexttowardf.c
nexttowardl s_nextafter.c s_nextafterl.c
scalbnl s_scalbn.c s_scalbnl.c
