 PPL 1.0 uses some libm long double functions (floorl, frexpl) as soon as
 it detects the long double type is available and looks functional.
 Unfortunately the Cygwin's libm does not provide such function, and we do
 not build Cephes on Cygwin.

 The easy solution is to use plain double precision in place of the
 extended ones (with a std:: prefix, as PPL also defines its own floor
 function).
 This is what is implemented in 1.1.pre* releases of ppl available at
 http://bugseng.com/products/ppl/download/ftp/snapshots/.

 There was a similar report archived at http://www.cs.unipr.it/pipermail
