This should be coordinated with gcc.  This is why I won't do this now.

This is should be the case for all library functions.  Gcc will only
set the variable to a different value if said so and in these
situations it can use inline functions etc.  Also, the __FAST_MATH__
stuff should probably also have influence.

OK, done.  But it's nothing I would delay a release for.
