Hi Eric

Thank you for the quick reply.

Looking into the reentrant and the non-reentrant functions in math.h,
I cannot see the different in how errno is set for the 'tan' function
(newlib/libm/mathfp/s_tan.c, which is reentrant) and the 'atan2' function
(newlib/libm/mathfp/s_atan2.c -> s_atangent.c, which is non-reentrant).

Maybe I am missing something?

Best regards,
Rasmus
