We have a bad experience with separate libraries, since people forget to 
say -lfoo.  Especially, since in this case there's no reason at all to 
think these functions will be separate, unlike libm.a.

Since this is all new functionality, and should therefore not interfere
with existing code, I would suggest to include it in libc.a anyway.
