This is already done - we do use the system log1p on linux (but note
that log2_1p is not standard AFAIK). I would guess few systems outside
windows don't have log1p, given that msun has an implementation,


I see that msun uses the same series I came to. However, my rational (Pade) approximation is a lot better than their polynomial.
