    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Implementation of math.h / libm currently blocks 64-bit double, namely:

1) Function names are wrong, e.g. 32-bit implementation of sine is named
"sin", not "sinf".

2) There are "aliases" in math.h (macros actually) that define the float
version (like "sinf") to the double version (like "sin").  Problem is that
this:

2a) This is the wrong way round ("sin" should be alias of "sinf").

2b) There are no proper prototypes.

2c) Macros are bad, e.g. in C++ when some class implements a method for which
math.h defines a macro, C++ functions / methods are silently renamed.

3) math.h is unconditional, i.e. treats double != float just like double =
float.
