I can confirm that the attached patch fixes the build issue on armhfp I
was seeing.  Thanks!

I need some help with the commit message, though.

This patch is OK.

I don't think there is a simple explanation for the commit message.  I 
suspect the -D_Mlong_double_=double could in fact be removed as *only* 
doing anything in the case where it breaks things (tests that undefine 
_LIBC) - it was added by

Mon Jul  8 13:37:40 1996  Roland McGrath  <roland@delasyd.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * math/math.h (_Mfloat_, _Mlong_double_): New macros, defined iff not
        already defined to float, long double.  Use those macros for _Mdouble_
        defns when including mathcalls.h.
        * math/Makefile [$(long-double-fcts) != yes] (CPPFLAGS): Append
        -D_Mlong_double_=double.

and may have been obsoleted by

1998-11-05  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

        * math/math.h: Unconditionally include bits/mathdef.h.  Declare
        long double functions only if __NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH is not
        defined.
        * sysdeps/generic/bits/mathdef.h: Define only if __USE_ISOC9X.
        Define __NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH.
        * sysdeps/m68k/fpu/bits/mathdef.h: Define only if __USE_ISOC9X.
        * sysdeps/i386/fpu/bits/mathdef.h: Likewise.

(after that, the long double functions shouldn't be prototyped at all when 
building libm before they get defined as aliases for the double functions) 
- but that would require further analysis to make sure.

Patch

Work around conflicting declarations of math functions

This restores compilation on architectures such as armhfp which
alias acos and acosl because double and long double are the same.

2015-11-09  Florian Weimer  <fweimer@redhat.com>

	* math/test-signgam-finite-c99.c (_Mlong_double_): Undefine.
