avoid easily avoidable loss of precision when |x| is nearly 1.
Extended (64-bit) precision only moves the meaning of "nearly" here.
This probably could be done better by splitting up the range into
|x| <= 0.5 and |x| > 0.5 like the C version. However, ucbtest
does't report any errors in this version. Perhaps the C version
should be used anyway. It's only 25% slower now on a P5, provided
the C version of sqrt() isn't used, and the C version could be
optimized better.

at runtime.
etc/make.conf:
Nuked HAVE_FPU option.
lib/msun/Makefile:
Always build the i387 objects. Copy the i387 source files at build
time so that the i387 objects have different names. This is simpler
than renaming the files in the cvs repository or repeating half of
bsd.lib.mk to add explicit rules.
lib/msun/src/*.c:
Renamed all functions that have an i387-specific version by adding
`__generic_' to their names.
lib/msun/src/get_hw_float.c:
New file for getting machdep.hw_float from the kernel.
sys/i386/include/asmacros.h:
Abuse the ENTRY() macro to generate jump vectors and associated code.
This works much like PIC PLT dynamic initialization. The PIC case is
messy. The old i387 entry points are renamed. Renaming is easier
here because the names are given by macro expansions.
This defeats the point of log1p(). ucbtest reports errors of +-5e+15
ULPs. A correct version would use the i387 fyl2xp1 instruction for
small x and maybe scale to small x. The C version does the scaling
reasonably efficiently, and fyl2px1 is slow (at least on P5s), so not
much is lost by always using the C version (only 25% for small x even
with the broken i387 version; 50% for large x).
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
was compiled with -O) by the precision bug in the i386 version of
gcc (assignments and casts don't clip the precision). E.g.,
rintf(12.3456789) was 12.125.
Avoid the same bug in rint(). It was only broken for the unusual
case when the i387 precision is 64 bits. FreeBSD defaults to 53
bit precision to avoid problems like this, but the standard math
emulator always uses 64 bit precision.
