Yeah. I'm going to check in Edgar's fix. I must have missed this because
my natDouble.cc was already compiled and I havn't done a full rebuild
since.

Well, we might need to do that if we need to include math.h to implement
non-strict FP. But do we need math.h at all? Can't we just have the
compiler map the Math.* calls directly to the appropriate __builtin
function? And things like Math.min(int, int) can be inlined to become a
MIN_EXPR node in the compiler. We won't need a Math.java at all, except
maybe to support reflection technicalities.
