Here's the link to the commit Mark referenced:
https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/4f9e11b0dddf04640fe0553a9133a471af613627

And then the actual implementations were removed in this commit:
https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/870f792ccadb412e522f37caec6028b0076a871b

So I guess this is the list of functions to remove, Mark?

I'm testing this on i386 with numpy to see if regress tests improve.

s_cos.S
s_cosf.S
s_sin.S
s_sinf.S
s_tan.S
s_tanf.S
