    lib/msun/src         e_hypot.c e_hypotf.c 
  Log:
  Use fabs[f]() instead of bit fiddling for setting absolute values.
  This makes little difference in float precision, but in double
  precision gives a speedup of about 30% on amd64 (A64 CPU) and i386
  (A64).  This depends on fabs[f]() being inline and efficient.  The
  bit fiddling (or any use of SET_HIGH_WORD(), which libm does too
  much because it was best on old 32-bit machines) always causes
  packing overheads and sometimes causes stalls in the packing, since
  it operates on only part of a variable in the double precision case.
  It apparently did cause stalls in a critical path here.
