   I have the Solaris compatible FreeBSD libm that works nicely albeit 
with a
   slight poorer performance. During boot there will be a check for SSE2 
support
   (Execute  /usr/bin/isainfo -v) and if not found then the FreeBSD libm 
will be
   added as an overlay mount over Solaris libm.

   Lots of enhancements have gone into FreeBSD libm in the 7-Current branch.
   I might also sync my sources with that at a later date to get the perf
   enhancements.
