I've attached a diff that I'd like to commit to msun that should allow these things to link.  This:

- Provides thin wrappers around the 8 missing libm functions that libc++ exposes that just call the double versions

- Makes these weak references, so other libraries can replace them with more precise versions if required

- On platforms where long double is greater precision than double (e.g. x86), it emits a linker warning when they are referenced

These can then be replaced by proper versions as they become available (at which point the linker warnings will go away).
