The failure to document -D_GNU_SOURCE is certainly worth complaining
about.  My point (which I may not have made very clearly) is that it's
not worth ranting about.

BTW, if anyone wants to submit a patch, it appears that the newlib
exp10(3) man page is extracted from comments in
    newlib/libm/common/s_exp10.c
in
    git://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git
Be sure to look for other GNU extensions as well.
