I'm mostly with you on this, there's no reason (any longer) to have
the math component of the standard library unincluded by default,
but...
Rationale:
The standard language specifies sin/cos/pow etc. Since
those functions are part of the *standard* there is NO
reason to separate them from the C library.
.... remember that the Standard Library is NOT part of the gcc
compiler.
The distinction is completely artificial.
agreed. However I believe the gcc guys chose to implement a compiler,
and leave the standard library to the experts.
