Actually I think that for glibc 2.1 we should just fix the bugs which
were located.  For one it is too late now to make major changes in
libm and second, for glibc 2.2 or 2.3 we need to think about a new
organization for the libm since we have to support long double not
only on ix86 and m68k but also on the new architectures which use
different formats (128 bit).

We would like to see tests for the libm precision any time and I would
appreciate if somebody could activate people with the necessary
knowledge.
