I'm fairly sure we want to use all the libm64 functions in place of their corresponding fdlibm ones on x86-64. I also know we do NOT want to use the trig functions in libm387, but some of the others there might be useful.
from julia.
What's the problem with the libm387 trig functions? Is it accuracy, or is there a better way to do it on x86-64?

Accuracy. Intel has only designed them to support an argument range of +-2^63. They are also no faster than a good all-software implementation on a modern cpu.
from julia.
OK, we know we want the libm64 functions, especially sqrt if nothing else. sqrt is important.

Now an openlibm issue.
