Updated patch to use 0.0f in addition to calling rintf.
Tested same way as before, with a testcase that triggers the code and
make check.
OK?
newlib/
* libm/math/wf_pow.c (powf): Call rintf instead of rint. Use 0.0f
for compare.
Discard QUICKREF sections, rather than writing them to stderr
Discard MATHREF sections, rather than discarding as an error
Pass NOTES sections through to texinfo, rather than discarding as an error
Don't redirect makedoc stderr to .ref file
Remove makedoc output on error
Remove .ref files from CLEANFILES
Regenerate Makefile.ins

The recently added new math code inlines error handling instead of using
error handling wrappers around __ieee754* internal symbols, and thus the
__ieee754* symbols are no longer provided.
However __ieee754_expf and __ieee754_logf are used in the implementation
of a number of other math functions. These symbols are safe to redirect
to the external expf and logf symbols, because those names are always
reserved when single precision math functions are reserved and the
additional error handling code is either not reached or there will be
an error in the final result that will override an internal spurious
errno setting.
For consistency all of __ieee754_expf, __ieee754_logf and __ieee754_powf
are redirected using a macro.
Based on code from https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines/
This patch adds a highly optimized generic implementation of expf,
exp2f, logf, log2f and powf. The new functions are not only
faster (6x for powf!), but are also smaller and more accurate.
In order to achieve this, the algorithm uses double precision
arithmetic for accuracy, avoids divisions and uses small table
lookups to minimize the polynomials. Special cases are handled
inline to avoid the unnecessary overhead of wrapper functions and
set errno to POSIX requirements.
The new functions are added under newlib/libm/common, but the old
implementations are kept (in newlib/libm/math) for non-IEEE or
pre-C99 systems. Targets can enable the new math code by defining
__OBSOLETE_MATH_DEFAULT to 0 in newlib/libc/include/machine/ieeefp.h,
users can override the default by defining __OBSOLETE_MATH.
Currently the new code is enabled for AArch64 and AArch32 with VFP.
Targets with a single precision FPU may still prefer the old
implementation.
libm.a size changes:

arm/thumb/v7-a+fp/softfp: -908
aarch64: -1476
previous commit 4c90db7bc8 introduced
a compile time error because libm/common/s_infconst.c used the remove
__fmath, __dmath, and __ldmath union types.
Since this is very old, and unused for a very long time, just drop the
file and thus the __infinity constants entirely.
Exception: Cygwin exports __infinity from the beginning. There's a very,
VERY low probability that any existing executable or lib still uses this
constant, but we just keep it in for backward compat, nevertheless.

Hi,
make pdf on Ubuntu 16.04 fail with:
newlib/libc/libc.texinfo:9: Missing @endcsname inserted.
After a lot of fiddling the reason appears to be the combination of concept
and function index despite a lack of concept index entries. Arguably texinfo
should not error in that case but here we are, newlib will fail to build its
documentation on some systems because of this. Since libc.texinfo only
contains function index entries this patch simply removes the combination of
indices. It does the same for libm.texinfo which has concept index entries but
no function index entries.
Tested by running make pdf, make dvi, make info and make html successfully.
libc.pdf appears to have only one index as expected.
== Proposed commit message ==
Fix pdf build failure with texinfo 6.1.0 as provided in Ubuntu 16.04. Index
combination in libc.texinfo and libm.texinfo fails because both file have only
one type of index entries. Removing index combination is thus harmless and
solves the problem.
Is this ok for master?
Best regards,
Thomas
Add makedocbook, a tool to process makedoc markup and output DocBook XML
refentries.
Process all the source files which are processed with makedoc with
makedocbook as well
Add chapter-texi2docbook, a tool to automatically generate DocBook XML
chapter files from the chapter .texi files. For generating man pages all we
care about is the content of the refentries, so all this needs to do is
convert the @include of the makedoc generated .def files to xi:include of
the makedocbook generated .xml files.
Add skeleton Docbook XML book files, lib[cm].in.xml which include these
generated chapters, which in turn include the generated files containing
refentries, which is processed with xsltproc to generate the lib[cm].xml
Add new make targets to generate and install man pages from lib[cm].xml
