They seem to have been used around year 2000, in avr-gcc-2.95.2, AFAICT.
You're right, they don't seem to be used now.

Sorry, I'm not sufficiently across the maths functions to offer informed
advice, but hoping that the current crop is compatible is forlorn, I
expect.

Keeping the toolchain source, including libraries such as avr-libc, if
used, in a project's source code repository is good practice. (But I'll
admit to not always having done it myself.)
