I believe the C libraries SoftFloat and fdlibm are suitable for what you are looking for. Others include Linux (GNU libc, glibc) or *BSD libc's math functions. Finally, CRlibm should also be of interest to you.

Ulrich Drepper has a interesting look at different math libraries, that might be also worth reading through.
