expm1l: Document musl libc bug


From: Bruno Haible
Subject: expm1l: Document musl libc bug
Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2021 13:15:18 +0100
User-agent: KMail/5.1.3 (Linux/4.4.0-197-generic; KDE/5.18.0; x86_64; ; )

expm1l lacks precision on musl libc 1.2.2/arm64, musl libc 1.2.2/s390x.
Fortunately the configure test meant for Mac OS X and NetBSD already catches it.
