Hm, having a conforming C90 environment would be nice despite C99's
existence as older compliant applications may depend on the former
behaviour and don't become magically C99 conformant.  Is there a chance
to have a separated C90 compliant libm?

Anyway, here's a patch to give C99 application at least the possibility
to notice that errno doesn't get set for these functions.  Because we
don't have <fenv.h> to access the floating point status flags, I'm
setting math_errhandling to 0.
