Thanks for this hint. Unfortunately the alternative math
library slows down some other functions considerably
which have duplicates in libc. After reading somewhere
that long double math functions are mandatory in C99,
I was hoping that they'll be available sooner or later
as a standard feature in DGJPP.

No, I was looking at the DJGPP library documentation.
After checking again I found out that the downloadable
zipped HTML documentation still contains stpncpy, while
the online HTML documentation has it already removed.

One of you guys might want to look into synchronizing
the two versions, if that's not too much trouble.    : )
