indeed ... i was left with empty copysign.S files which caused the undefined 
references to the __copysign funcs as the glibc build preferred the old 
empty .S files over the new custom .c files ...

that leaves me with the undef references to sin/cos though ... this appears to 
be because the libm patch overrides the default sysdeps/ieee754/*/s_sin.c 
file with a new empty sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/s_sin.c ... which would normally be 
fine as the patch also adds a new sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/s_sincos.c file to 
provide sincos(), sin(), and cos(), except that the patch doesnt delete the 
existing sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/s_sincos.S file ... if i delete 
sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/s_sincos.S myself and rebuild, libm.so is just peachy

this isnt an issue for glibc-2.3.6 as s_sincos.S was introduced in trunk and 
not the glibc-2.3 branch ...

so to recap:
patch fails on trunk/glibc-2.4 as the new sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/s_sincos.c 
conflicts with the existing sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/s_sincos.S file
