C++ math functions not available in namespace std

[Joel Sherrill]

This happens on the architectures where size of long double is not the same
as double. The header file disables everything if any math method is
missing.

I have it on my list to address. I was porting the long double methods from
FreeBSD before anyone ran into this but haven't finished
