Yep, however, now that I look at the original code, and code that
shipped in 7.3:

    #ifndef HAVE_CBRT
    #define cbrt my_cbrt
    static double cbrt(double x);

    #else
    #if !defined(nextstep)
    extern double cbrt(double x);
    #endif
    #endif   /* HAVE_CBRT */

There is no my_cbrt() function, meaning anyone who didn't have cbrt
couldn't have even compiled 7.3, so I think we should just remove cbrt,
or mark it as UNUSED.
