A few years ago I subscribed to a 386users email discussion list,
then moderated by Bill Davidson (hope I spelled his last name
right), who was then also moderating comp.binaries.ibm.pc.   Someone
posted a complete archive for a freely distributable math lib
which I successfully used to get some functions that were missing
from the then current djgpp (namely modf(), which I think ws in
the next version of djgpp itself).  I'm sure there is an archive
somewhere that has that post, and rint() might be a part of that
library.

It also appears that the missing fuction is availabe under Linux.
I don't have sources online, however, nor time to get them.
Perhaps someone who has both Linux and djgpp installed could
compare the libraries, and figure out which functions are
missing.
