- LINUX LONG DOUBLE PRECISION FLOATING POINT SUPPORT
-
- Most of the long double math functions here were derived from the
- libc-linux libm.a collection and revised by Olaf Flebbe to make long
- double versions. The functions j0l, y0l, j1l, y1l, erf, erfc and the
- gamma function coefficients come from a netlib suite by Steve Moshier.
-
- GCC compiler versions earlier than 2.5.0 do not support long double on
- i386 and will not work. (GCC 2.4 does support long double on m68k.)
-
- A header file called mathl.h supplies the prototypes. These could
- be merged into math.h.

- sinh, tanh suffer from cancellation error near the origin.
- Rational approximations are needed for small arguments.
-
- The routines for J_n use forward recurrence.
