 Don't really know.
 Check for sqrtl, logl, tgammal and lgammal everywhere except where:
 * we cheat, which is currently Cygwin,
 * we install Cephes, which is currently FreeBSD.
 And if that fails, rant that supported platform should provide "long
 double" functions (except for the the two categories filtered out above)
 and suggest:
 * setting SAGE_PORT to something non-empty,
 * and:
  * either try installing the Cephes spkg,
  * or cheating as on Cygwin.
 Both of these will be non-trivial anyway.
