D.gnu - FMODL

As we've run into multiple times, some LIBC implementations (specifically those
derived from BSD) seem to lack the fmodl function, which causes problems for the
DMD floating point ops.  I was wondering, since GDC is a GPL application,
couldn't we just copy the fmodl function from GLIBC, surround it in #ifdef's so
it's not compiled on systems with built-in fmodl's, and run with it?

Here's a platform independent fmodl implementation from GLIBC. It might behoove
us to include it within the compiler, so we could match DMD's precision but
could still run on platforms lacking fmodl.
