Well here is what I'm thinking in this respect. mjn3 is working on a new |
| 30 |
libm but it's going to be a while before he is done. Reading the |
| 31 |
uClibc/TODO states that libm is targeted for 1.0 which we know is going |
| 32 |
to be a ways out. So if we have replacement functions then lets post |
| 33 |
them here for review and consider patching out own -lm till such time as |
| 34 |
mjn3 has it ready and it works for us. |

| 37 |
TODO list for the uClibc 1.0.0 release: |
| 38 |
*) Implement the float and long double versions of math funcs |
| 39 |
using wrappers on top of the double versions (size / precision |
| 40 |
trade off where size clearly wins). |
