Summary:  Using float arithmetic without linking with -lm result in incorrect 
code

Original Submission:  In the normal C environment, it's possibile to compile 
correct code using floating point arithmetic without linking math library. Math 
library is required only if functions like sin() are used. I try to do the same 
with avr-libc, but the math code included (__floatsisf for instance) contains 
jmp 0x0 wich obviusly isn't what I wanted. Linking with -lm is a solution, but 
it must be stated that every use of FPA requires -lm.

We ought to merge libc and libm completely.  There are
other discrepancies as well, like FP conversion functions
listed in <stdlib.h>, while their implementation is only
present in libm.a.

This item will be deferred until after the release of 1.2.0.

Reduced severity as it's a documentation change.
