Oops! I appear to have missed that mail.

That's quite helpful actually and says that cygwin's gamma matches
glibc, which makes the change from 2002 just a bug. Switching gamma back
to lgamma is quite simple.

Here's what I did:

 1. Remove the gamma* function implementations and make them explicit
    aliases to lgamma*.

 2. Change the name of the __ieee754_gamma* functions to
    __ieee754_tgamma* and remove the _ieee754_gamma*_r variants

I've sent a patch doing this to the list.
