I don't think that's a huge problem. We're really not in the business of implementing high quality math functions (see `<complex>`). That's the kind of stuff we should leave to the libc. We wouldn't implement any other math functions just because some libc does a sub-par job. If your libc doesn't provide a high quality enough implementation for your purposes you can file a bug against that or use a LLVM libc shim instead (once they implement the complex family of functions).
