[Bug math/5783] New: Slow sine function for special values on AMD64 - second attempt


I would like to repost my previously deleted bug by (lazy IMHO)
carlos@codesoucery.com. The math sin function is at least 1000x slower on 64bit
distributions for special numbers (and carlos dosn't care about it). 
I can't try it with CVS head, because I cannot connect to cvs through our firewall.
But even when I tried the latest snapshot, I couldn't build it (maybe another bug):
a - elf/dl-vdso.os

gcc   -nostdlib -nostartfiles -r -o

Please, anyone with 64bit distribution and glibc CVS head, could you try the
attached example and post the time results of it? (or help me to build the
snapshot...)
Thank you

====== Original bug report ======================================
The math sin(double) function is in 64bit distribution (Kubuntu 7.10 AMD64 and
Fedora - unknown version) unreasonable slow (~400 microseconds on Atlon64 X2
4800+!!!) for some special values. In 32bit distribution is everything fine.
I captured some of those values:
0.93340582292648832662962377071381  0x3fedde75e36bb000
2.3328432680770916363144351635128   0x4002a9a9bb38add0
3.7439477503636453548097051680088   0x400df39ae0cdf500
3.9225160069792437411706487182528   0x400f615012801950
4.0711651639931289992091478779912   0x401048df854fdc20

5.9840767662578002727968851104379   0x4017efb1d1df52a0

Example:
#include <math.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    volatile double value = 0.93340582292648832662962377071381;
    volatile double out;
    int i;
    for (i=0; i < 20000; i++)
        out = sin(value);
    return 0;
}
