This site lists powl() as an optional POSIX extension:
http://www.mers.byu.edu/docs/standardC/math.html

We should have a Configure-time check for whether it exists.

This is currently blocking the porting of Parrot to the RTEMS real-time embedded operating system, which only implements the the mandatory core of POSIX.
