I'm responsible for libm on an architecture with 32bit float in hardware
and 64bit float via integer ops. It's derived from musl because I like musl.
Currently operations written in terms of double are rather slow. Would
upstream accept functions optimised for a 32bit float+int system? I haven't
written them yet but it's on the todo list.
Cheers
Jon
