Summary:                    rint() bad on x86.
Description: 
On x86 with Linux uclibc's rint() function returns bad results.  This was
tracked down to Linux's defaulting to 80-bit floating point rounding, and
uclibc's 64-bit function.  There are two ways of dealing with this:

1)  Reset FPU to 64-bit precision.
2)  Import glibc's functions for this and its variants.

I'm currently working on doing the latter in my personal tree, and will
submit a patch when I finish.

The attached diff fixes the rint() functions by importing the glibc code
for them.
