--- Comment #16 from Alexandre Oliva <aoliva at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
That macro is used within libstdc++ to avoid relying on C99 functions when the
target C library is not C99-compliant.  It involves leaving out C++ standard
bits that would depend on functions that the C library doesn't offer, including
some of the <cmath> declarations in ::std::.

IMHO it would make sense to omit simd functions corresponding to C99/TR1 ones
known to be missing.  Now, it's unclear to me whether we'd be better off
omitting the entire set of C99/TR1 math functions as a block, or whether
there'd be any benefit from considering individual functions separately. 
newlib, for example, exports a number of the C99/TR1 functions, but not all of
them, so the macro is not defined.
