> Can anyone explain what this in <math.h> is about:

The math.h that came with libm's sources came from a different source,
and at the time couldn't be used as-is because it didn't meet our
portability/standards goals.  So I did what you see.  The reasoning is
similar to the fact that many math functions are duplicated between
libc and libm.

If needed, yes, but note that <libm/math.h> is (well, was) mastered
elsewhere.
