Please see the description I posted at
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2018-03/msg00001.html> discussing various
examples of what might be involved for particular functions, and see if
you can identify some of the relevant parts of the GCC sources for
existing built-in math.h functions that would serve as a guide to the
sorts of things that would be needed for implementing the new functions.
