I don't see the point. libm functions are much more difficult than
softint/softfloat, just the plain amount of math knowledge necessary
to create anything usable is scary. Trying to create our own
implementation of things that have been properly implemented over and
over and publicly available under BSD licence is, IMO, a very bad
idea.
