You cannot :-(

The reason is that I am only able to work as much on libm as I have 
time between other thasks. Fot this reason, libm cannot be a complete
Sun libm replacement but only serves the software I did test so far.

This is why testing on/for Schillix is so important as long as Sun
does not opensource enough bits from Solaris.
