I'd tend to consider src/math to be core components.
And IIRC, src/complex built the last time I tried CVS pcc (but I could be misremembering!)
However, C11 makes complex numbers optional, and there's currently no dependance on src/complex/ - would it make sense to allow
/configure --disable-complex
(via the filter-out rule)?
What percent of the build time is that?
