Many of the IEEE 64-bit double precision math functions
(in the @file{sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64} subdirectory) come
from the IBM Accurate Mathematical Library, contributed by IBM.

@item
Many of the IA64 math functions are taken from a collection of
``Highly Optimized Mathematical Functions for Itanium'' that Intel
