	* math/math.h (_Mfloat_, _Mlong_double_): New macros, defined iff not
	already defined to float, long double.  Use those macros for _Mdouble_
	defns when including mathcalls.h.
	* math/Makefile [$(long-double-fcts) != yes] (CPPFLAGS): Append
	-D_Mlong_double_=double.

	Add more -lm functions to -lc because ldexp uses them.
	* math/Makefile (calls): Add s_finite, s_copysign, s_scalbn, s_modf.
	(routines): Remove s_modf, add s_frexpf, s_ldexpf; all but frexp and
	ldexp have both f and l code, and those have f though not l code.

 	memcpy for possibly overlapping strings.

 * We have incorporated the 4.4 BSD `db' library (version 1.85).  New header
   files <db.h> and <mpool.h> provide a rich set of functions for several
   types of simple databases stored in memory and in files, and <ndbm.h> is

 * New macro `strdupa' copies a string like `strdup', but uses local stack
   space from `alloca' instead of dynamic heap space from `malloc'.
