I do not know anyone working on porting fdlibm to the PC.
[But in fact I downloaded fdlibm in order to look for
 some useable/new code.] 

I think you are talking of a libm for DOS/DJGPP? I would like to
invite you to use the Linux/i386 code and share the efforts of
maintaing a free libm. I am currently looking for some better
code for the IEEE special number handling ind some special functions.
