of fixes and updates to FDLIBM that have accumulated over the years in
`msun`, and optimized versions of many functions.
### Platform support ## Build instructions
OpenLibm builds on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows, and with little
effort, should build on FreeBSD as well. It builds with both GCC and
clang. Although largely tested on x86, it also includes experimental
support for ARM. The original `msun` also includes support for mips,
sparc64, powerpc, ia64, and alpha. These are present in the OpenLibm
source tree, but no attempt has been made to build any of these.
