Right.  Well, I'm not sure I'd class it as a bug: glibc just doesn't provide 
long double math functions for ARM at the moment.  And, in turn, the reason 
for this is that GCC doesn't actually emit extended precision operations: 
"long double" is equivalent to "double".

NWFPE does actually support extended precision if configured appropriately, so 
in theory one could turn on this support in GCC.  But I suspect it would land 
us in a nasty compatibility quagmire, and in fact Debian kernels tend to ship 
with this NWFPE option disabled.
