Cygwin just uses straight newlib/libm, and the BSD versions of those long double
math functions are already in newlib/libm/*/*l.c and available on Cygwin: sizeof
float80, float128, and long double are all 16.
There are also some x86 asm and fast math specializations under winsup/cygwin/math/
Or are you talking about other long double math functions not included?
You should be able to persuade configure to build RTEMS newlib/libm with a heavy
platform config supporting long double size 16 and excluding _LDBL_EQ_DBL.
