These static PIE + exectuables are like static executables but can be loaded at any address + and provide additional security hardening benefits at the cost of some + memory and performance. When the library is built with --enable-static-pie + the resulting libc.a is usable with GCC 8 and above to create static PIE + executables using the GCC option '-static-pie'. This feature is currently + supported on i386, x86_64 and x32. + * Optimized x86-64 asin, atan2, exp, expf, log, pow, atan, sin, cosf, sinf and tan with FMA, contributed by Arjan van de Ven and H.J.
