Well, let's see how that part of intergation will turn out.  For example
if there are different math libraries the user will be responsible for
adding -lFOO, similar to how -lm is necessary.  Also similar to how
-mveclibabi works.  I'd expect basic arithmetic to be available from
libgcc, only quad precision sin/cos etc. to be in an external library.
