> Optimised implementations of copysign() for i386
note that in most user code gcc would inline
copysign calls instead of calling into libc.
when it is a call into libc then it wont be
fast no matter what because of the call overhead
(spilling registers).
so libc copysign is not performance critical
(except currently musl code itself calls it
but that can be fixed)
i386 asm is also not very interesting (it introduces
maintenance burden and not many users care about it)
