Actually, the newest is 3.5, but it doesn't have asinh.  It does,
however, have casinh.  If theres nothing better, this could be used for
asinh.  It might make just as much sense to compute asinh oneself, though.

If you are willing to contribute a public domain implementation of the
real arc-hyperbolic trig functions, I am sure MinGW would not reject them.

There are three primary components to a GNU toolchain:

-The compiler: GCC or something else

-The linker and assembler: binutils or something else

-The C library: glibc, mingw-runtime, or something else.

The functionality of the whole is described by the functionality of each
of these three parts.
