Still on my plan, I just put by side due to relocation last year
in your country (Ich bin Münchener) as kindly asked by my employer.

There are around 56 missing function in math.h and 22 in complex.h
almost all related to long double.
So slight more than the 66 complex ones I added last time.

I think the best is to split in several patches to cover all of
them without waiting that everything is ready.
I will start to work again next week when I am back from vacation.
The base should be the freebsd implementation.
