Your patch to libmath/Makefile.am is fine, but your ChangeLog entry
should say libmath/Makefile.am, not Makefile.am.

See:

GLIBCPPP_USE_C99. This is on by default for gnu/linux.

Keep in mind that tests for C99, and decisions on what to enable or
partially enable WRT C99 support in the C++ runtime is a continuing area
of controversy, especially with respect to wide character support.
