2012-03-27math: fix a regression in powl and do some cleanupsnsz-12/+11
previously a division was accidentally turned into integer div (w = -i/NXT;) instead of long double div (w = -i; w /= NXT;)
2012-03-20clean up powl.cnsz-92/+47
fix special cases, use multiplication instead of scalbnl
2012-03-19use scalbn or *2.0 instead of ldexp, fix fmalnsz-51/+52
Some code assumed ldexp(x, 1) is faster than 2.0*x, but ldexp is a wrapper around scalbn which uses multiplications inside, so this optimization is wrong. This commit also fixes fmal which accidentally used ldexp instead of ldexpl loosing precision. There are various additional changes from the work-in-progress const cleanups.

2012-03-13first commit of the new libm!Rich Felker-0/+562
thanks to the hard work of Szabolcs Nagy (nsz), identifying the best (from correctness and license standpoint) implementations from freebsd and openbsd and cleaning them up! musl should now fully support c99 float and long double math functions, and has near-complete complex math support. tgmath should also work (fully on gcc-compatible compilers, and mostly on any c99 compiler). based largely on commit 0376d44a890fea261506f1fc63833e7a686dca19 from nsz's libm git repo, with some additions (dummy versions of a few missing long double complex functions, etc.) by me. various cleanups still need to be made, including re-adding (if they're correct) some asm functions that were dropped.
