The ia64 source code used to build libm is based on a very old Intel libm.  The
current version of the Intel libm (v2.1) is much improved in speed (up to 5
times faster), accuracy, and the coverage of functions provided.

The proposed patch brings the ia64 libm in sync with Intel libm v2.1 and does so
in an automatic (script-based) fashion such that it will be much easier to keep
the glibc libm for ia64 in sync with Intel's version.
