It certainly works for me for 'sqrtl' (but fails for 'frexpl' with 
"undefined reference to `_frexpl'"):

--------------------------------------
Rob AT desktop2 ~/C
$ cat script.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    long double x = sqrtl(7);
    printf("%.19Lf\n", x);
    return 0;
}

Rob AT desktop2 ~/C
$ gcc script.c

Rob AT desktop2 ~/C
$ ./a.exe
2.6457513110645905904

Rob AT desktop2 ~/C
--------------------------------------

[Snip - a most helpful explanation of where libc and newlib fit into the 
picture, and of other aspects that I was finding confusing. Thanks for that 
Brian ... much appreciated.]

Cheers,
Rob
