numpys no-C99 fallback keeps turning up issues in corner cases, e.g.<br>

log1p <a href="https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/4225" target="_blank">https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/4225</a><br>
<br>
these only seem to happen on windows, on linux and mac it seems to use<br>
the C99 math library just fine.<br>
<br>
Are our binary builds for windows not correct or does windows just not<br>
support C99 math?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ms compilers have not supported much of C > C89. Up to recently, they even said publicly something close to "we don't care about C, C is legacy and you should use C++": <a href="http://herbsutter.com/2012/05/03/reader-qa-what-about-vc-and-c99/">http://herbsutter.com/2012/05/03/reader-qa-what-about-vc-and-c99/</a></div>

Hopefully it is the former. Any insight is appreciated (and patches to<br>
fix the build even more!)<br>
