I remember a bug #7667: float exception leaves R1 undefined.
It was fixed at the end of 2004 year.
Test case for it:

   extern double tan (double);   /* no math.h, to exclude const attr. */
   int main ()
   {
       unsigned char r1;
       union {
           unsigned long lo;
           double fl;
       } x;
       x.lo = 0x7f800000;
       tan(x.fl);
       asm ("mov %0,r1" : "=r"(r1));
       return r1;
   }

If I correctly understand, splitting of library is impossible
at *usual* linking.  That is, if You have point libm only once,
all modules from libm are placed together.  As libgcc has modules
with the same names, it is important to point libm before libgcc.
In case of 'avr-g++' it is needed to point manualy, whith
'-nodefaultlibs' option.
