[Context: some time ago I asked about using libm functions such as
exp, log, pow in a kernel module]

Actually, it occured to me that if I needed an exponent I could
ar x /usr/lib/libm.a e_exp.o
and then
ld -m elf_i386 -r -o mymath.o my_math.o e_exp.o
where my_math.c containes initialization and cleanup - this seems to
work just fine, and saves me quite a bit of assembly-level headache
associated with ripping glibc code to pieces.
Other libm functions may be added in a similar manner.
