do you mean you are trying to fix the code in musl?
that's welcome, but i think it will be hard without
numerical computing knowledge.
several complex math functions in musl are not
correct (implemented in a very naive way), but
fixing them is significant effort.
in this particular case the 8 and 12 ulp errors
on the real and imaginary parts are still
considered small errors (glibc has 1 and 2 ulp
errors compared to the correctly rounded result).
