yup. I filed a bug for you.

Well. We'd been debating adding the checks for the builtins and float
versions of these functions, so I just went ahead and did it, pending
approval by Gaby when he gets back in a week or two. There's got to be a
better way to do it than what I did, but my lobbying for a configure-time
macro in autoconf fell by the wayside. In anycase, the fix is in CVS, so
this should be usable again.
