I did not implement them. They are from whatever -lm means on Cygwin. I
use them to compute my own formula repeatedly for hundreds of different
vectors.

They are not mine. There must be a misunderstanding...

Can this be done with just CFLAGS? I really don't want to pollute my
code with ``#ifdef CYGWIN''... Thank you,
