Yes, add and mul are part of fplib.  I'm not too familar with libgcc's
naming convention, but I seem to recognize *numerous* FP-related
functions in libgcc.a as well.  So fpadd and fpmul are rather the
exception here.  (For a clean interface, they should probably be moved
out of avr-libc's fplib into GCC's gcc/config/avr/libgcc.S anyway, so
they remain part of libgcc.a as they ought to be.)
