After taking a closer look at the ast-ksh build log I saw this:
-- snip --
iffe: test: is scanb a library function ... no
iffe: test: is scanbl a library function ... no
iffe: test: is scanbn a library function ... no
iffe: test: is scanbnl a library function ... no
-- snip --

Shouldn't this be |scalb*| instead of |scanb*| ? Solaris doen't have a
|scanbl| function (or similar stuff):
-- snip --
$ apropos scanb
$ apropos scanbl
$ apropos scanbn
$ apropos scanbnl
-- snip --

... but lots of |scalb*| functions...
-- snip --
$ apropos scalbnl
scalbnl         scalbln (3m)    - compute exponent using FLT_RADIX
$ apropos scalbl 
scalbl          scalb (3m)      - load exponent of a radix-independent
floating-point number
scalbln         scalbln (3m)    - compute exponent using FLT_RADIX
scalblnf        scalbln (3m)    - compute exponent using FLT_RADIX
scalblnl        scalbln (3m)    - compute exponent using FLT_RADIX
scalbn          scalbln (3m)    - compute exponent using FLT_RADIX
scalbnf         scalbln (3m)    - compute exponent using FLT_RADIX
scalbnl         scalbln (3m)    - compute exponent using FLT_RADIX
-- snip --
