Sorry about the 2/3, I meant 1/2. I tried tgamma but it does not exist
in the library on Ubuntu (meaning the latest.) lgamma() of course
returns the error I mention. Therefore there is still no working gamma.

If in libm "gamma" is the function that ought to be named "lngamma" or
"loggamma", then that's an error that should be corrected despite any
"historical precendent" in my opinion.
