Hopefully, this is just the first of a series of similar commits over
the next 4-5 months so if we bump OSVERSION for this, we are probably
looking at another half-dozen or so bumps.  Do any ports actually have
a hard-wired decision for expl() (or other libm functions)?  I would
hope most ports that are interested in complex and/or long double
functions have some sort of configure-time test that will automatically
detect their presence or absence.
