cmath.tcc:std::__cmath_power is not even declared inline. So how do you
expect the compiler to optimize the very common std::pow(x, 2) without
-O3? And even with -O3 I cannot get gcc to optimize the simple

double foo(double x)
{
  std::pow(x, 2);
}

to something avoiding the call to std::__cmath_power. And I dont
expect inlining heuristics to consider constant arguments even for
tree-ssa in 3.5 timeframe.
