I wonder whether we should drop libm.a altogether, i. e., make it a
stub library for historical reasons, so people using -lm won't fall
over, but put all modules into libc.a.  There are already other
oddities, like strtod() which is documented in <stdlib.h> also living
in libm.a, because of the historical origin of the code implementing
it.

(There's IMHO also an option to make that stub library produce a
linker warning, so people using -lm could get notified.)
