Julia's libm is https://github.com/JuliaMath/openlibm (or http://openlibm.org/) The do try merging latest from freebsd (msun), although it seems not the very latest. (see e.g. https://github.com/JuliaMath/openlibm/pull/118) I did try installing the master git branch of openlibm on FreeBSD 11.1 with clang, it builds and passes all tests they have. Does it make sense to contribute there more tests (if any --- they seem to have quite a list), to clear suspicions about precision?
