I expect the system libc to use more accurate functions than Python. The GNU
libc uses for example FYL2X and FYL2XP1 hardware instructions on Intel FPU.

Issue #8986: erfc was raising OverflowError on Linux for arguments in
the (approximate) range (-27.3, 30.0), as a result of an escaped errno
value.
........
(1) use a different algorithm that roughly halves the total number of
multiplications required and results in more balanced multiplications
(2) use a lookup table for small arguments
(3) fast accumulation of products in C integer arithmetic rather than
PyLong arithmetic when possible.
Typical speedup, from unscientific testing on a 64-bit laptop, is 4.5x
to 6.5x for arguments in the range 100 - 10000.
Patch by Daniel Stutzbach; extensive reviews by Alexander Belopolsky.

Refactor some longobject internals: PyLong_AsDouble and _PyLong_AsScaledDouble
(the latter renamed to _PyLong_Frexp) now use the same core code. The
exponent produced by _PyLong_Frexp now has type Py_ssize_t instead of the
previously used int, and no longer needs scaling by PyLong_SHIFT. This
frees the math module from having to know anything about the PyLong
implementation. This closes issue #5576.
