Detection of the availability of long functions is not working properly in 
scipy_core-0.4.1. This is fixed in svn. So, try newcore from svn.

On windows XP box with latest mingw32 I have experienced similar problems 
with float versions of inverse hyperbolic functions: it appears that while 
asinhf is defined then atanhf is not, I am in a middle of debugging 
process with it right now..
