Hmm.  This makes more sense than the previous patch.

However, it doesn't make sense if only the math functions are affected
If you want to do this systematically, you'd have to group them
following the Open Group Base Spec Issue 8.

That would also imply merging stuff like

  iswalnum/iswalnum_l           -- page 1280
  le16toh/le32toh/le64toh       -- page 1327
  localtime/localtime_r         -- page 1354
  mlock/munlock                 -- pages 1433, 1488
  sig2str/str2sig               -- page 2040

etc. etc.

Nevertheless, while this has a certain charm and I don't see
a disadvantage, I'd like to get Jon's input to this as well.
