The standard 415 versions in libc are __c99_cabs{,f,l} and there are __RENAME()'s in 416 <complex.h>. G++ uses __builtin_cabs{,f,l} to implement those and they 417 translate by default to cabs{,f,l} which gets defined to cabs{,f} (the 418 wrong function) and an undefined cabsl. I've changed <complex> to use 419 the __c99_cabs{,f,l} directly.
