Question on including 'math.h' from C runtime...

Greetings.

I checked in the archives and did not see a discussion of this
anywhere. I have received some Linux kernel code from a project
that I have inherited and a couple of the drivers are including
math.h from the C library. This being the header file from
'/usr/include/math.h' in most cases. There are only two places
in the kernel that also include this header file. They are:

   drivers/atm/iphase.c
   drivers/net/hamradio/soundmodem/gentbl.c

As far as I can tell '/usr/include/math.h' is just full of
defines and the header files it includes are also a bunch
of defines with a few macro functions sprinkled in. Can someone
shed light on if this is bad or not and why it would be done
or necessary? Thanks.

-Steve
