Most likely, fplib.inc is meant.

Obviously :), this file is not built as part of avr-libc.  The
function is neither documented nor standard.  Perhaps it aims
to be (int)frexp(), but i don't see much point in having it.

Even with fplib.inc, i doubt it will work at all.  A branch is
targeted to go to _frexp_200, but the code after _irexp_200 in this
file is unused.  It /looks/ like the branch should go there instead.
(It will assemble and link anyway, since most of fplib still bogusly
uses globally known labels, and incidentally, frexp.S contains a label
named _frexp_200.  Not declaring external labels before use is
non-fatal in Unix assemblers, so the jump to outside the own file will
remain unnoticed.)

I'm currently not in the mood of thinking whether fixing this will
make it work.  I think we should simply drop that file instead.
