<p>Hi Nicolas,  thanks for the reminder.  The problem is indeed that that plugin is written w.r.t. fdlibm which is effectively obsolete.  However there is an alternative.  See first this for a good overview of the issue:<br>
<a href="http://christian-seiler.de/projekte/fpmath/" rel="nofollow">http://christian-seiler.de/projekte/fpmath/</a><br>
and then this for a widely used solution:<br>
<a href="https://www.mpfr.org" rel="nofollow">https://www.mpfr.org</a><br>
This still presents problems; we'd hav e to modify the JIT to generate analogous code to Gnu's MPFR.  But at least we have a reference implementation against which to test.<br>
We should perhaps take this discussion to a new issue.</p>
