sinl (and probably others) are not computed correctly. At least for large
inputs.

Please consider the following simple testcase:

$ cat sintest.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int
main (void) {
  double arg = 1e22;
  long double larg = 1e22L;


  printf("double precision: sin(1e22) = %.16lf\n", sin(arg));
  printf("quad precison: sin(1e22)=%.16Lf\n", sinl(larg));

  return 0;
}


$gcc sintest.c
$./a.out
double precision: sin(1e22) = -0.8522008497671888
quad precison: sin(1e22)=0.4626130407646018


This behavior is demonstrated by gcc-4.4.3 and gcc-4.5 (current snapshot)

I am using ubuntu on a 64 bit linux machine (intel). 

However, the same results were obtained on different machines.
