It has been this way since dinosaurs roamed the earth. Understanding
why libm and libc are separate might involve the Vax, some of which
had no floating point coprocessor. One might have more than one
math library on a system for other reasons. (Remember the Weitek
coprocessors for i386 about 15 years ago?)
