Linux uses glibc, Cygwin uses newlib.  They're not the same thing. 
Glibc is highly optimized and tweaked, newlib is designed as a small and
portable libc for embedded systems.  It does not have inline versions of
these functions.

Be aware that newlib supports a wide variety of platforms, some with no
FPU, so you can't just go yanking stuff out.

If you don't care about portability you could probably #define the
inline asm versions of the functions.
