NetBSD 6.1.5 doesn't have ldexpl in math.h

[Mark Atwood]

I agree, drop NetBSD6 and document why.

Is NetBSD 6 still under development?    If so, we can send them a bugreport.

On the other other hand, do we still have any other compatibility shims
anywhere else for any other OSes?   floating point ops like this are
"merely" some simple bit twiddles, as long as you know your arch and fp
arch.
