I already suggested this, and mentioned:

I don't know of any BSD-licensed routines that would be suitable for
use in the base system.  You can cobble together replacements from
various ports, with different licenses.  For example, if you wanted
accuracy and correctness, but didn't care about speed, you could use
math/mpc and math/mpfr.  Unfortunately, with many naive
implementations, you often lose more than just speed.
