What I meant was: you can send patches to *fix* the uses of sincos without 
needing to file associated bugs; a patch known to expose latent bugs as 
testsuite failures is unlikely to be approved.  And then propose optimized 
sincos once the latent bugs (that optimized sincos would expose) are 
fixed.  I don't think these latent bugs should be that hard to fix, and as 
you've found there are already relevant testcases in the testsuite for 
them.
