--- Comment #2 from joseph at codesourcery dot com <joseph at codesourcery dot com> --- For any vaguely recent GCC version, the now-removed code in bits/mathinline.h used __builtin_expm1l. The key features for this (and much the same applies to the hypot / asinh / acosh / atanh inlines which have also been added as x86-specific) are: * optab to expand expm1l inline (using the x87 f2xm1 instruction, though it's more complicated than that), respectively to expand expl inline in one case (and other functions such as log1pl for the inverse hyperbolic functions). * Operations including that optab available for a wider type (XFmode in this case) so that the range of arguments isn't reduced when the inline is called for a narrower type. x87 and m68k are the only instruction sets I know to have the relevant instructions for expanding the expm1 / log1p operations inline, so other than for hypot this is a case of something theoretically generic but not so practically useful to make generic.
