It's because sysdeps/alpha/w_sqrt.S misses a #define __need_Emath
before it includes <errnos.h>. With the standard Linux 2.0.x header
files, EDOM doesn't get defined then.

Wouldn't it be better to change errnos.h so that it does a

#ifndef EMON
#define EDOM ...

.. instead of having the app/lib having to define __need_Emath ?

I don't know if this was fixed after 961114, because I can't reach
alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu
