Thanks for your patchset, it looks pretty well to me, though I like
to have input on this from my co-maintainer Jeff, too.

I noticed that you exclude Cygwin from the new code, which makes sense
as long as we provide our own long double math taken from Mingw-w64.

However, there's something not quite right.  When trying to build I get
symbol conflicts for the fdim{f,l} and scalbln{f,l} symbols in the link
stage (paths shortend for readability):

ld: libm.a(libm_a-s_fdim.o): in function `fdimf':
newlib/libm/ld/s_fdim.c:47: multiple definition of `fdimf'; libm.a(libm_a-sf_fdim.o):newlib/libm/common/sf_fdim.c:16: first defined here

ld: libm.a(libm_a-s_fdim.o): in function `fdiml':
newlib/libm/ld/s_fdim.c:48: multiple definition of `fdiml'; libdll.a(fdiml.o):winsup/cygwin/math/fdiml.c:11: first defined here

ld: libm.a(libm_a-s_scalbln.o): in function `scalblnf':
newlib/libm/ld/s_scalbln.c:46: multiple definition of `scalblnf'; libm.a(libm_a-sf_scalbln.o):newlib/libm/common/sf_scalbln.c:34: first defined here

ld: libm.a(libm_a-s_scalbln.o): in function `scalblnl':
newlib/libm/ld/s_scalbln.c:53: multiple definition of `scalblnl'; libdll.a(scalbnl.o):winsup/cygwin/scalbnl.S:19: first defined here

The conflicts really ony occur for these four functions.  Any chance
to fix these?


Thanks,
