+??     The pow() inline function I get when including <math.h> is broken.

+{UD} Nope, the implementation is correct.  The problem is with egcs version
+prior to 1.1.  I.e., egcs 1.0 to 1.0.3 are all broken (at least on Intel).
+If you have to use this compiler you must define __NO_MATH_INLINES before
+including <math.h> to prevent the inline functions from being used.  egcs 1.1
+fixes the problem.  I don't know about gcc 2.8 and 2.8.1.
