Bruce,

I re-read the audit trail of the PR.  You list two items:
gamma() should become tgamma(); and, (lack of) the use
of __pure2.  I was planning to compare our msun against
NetBSD and merge any appropriate changes (if any exists).
Do you have any patches for msun that you might commit
in the future?

Also, are functions missing in libm with respect to the
C99 standard?  I would be willing to work on implementing
these functions.
