Illegal C code generated with numpy complex type

Reported by jdemeyer on 12 May 2016 08:26 UTC The Cython module

cimport numpy as np

cdef np.float64_t x
cdef np.complex128_t y

cdef foo(self):
    return x / y

gives compiler warnings

...: implicit declaration of function fabs_npy_float64 [        } else if (fabs_npy_float64(b.real) >= fabs_npy_float64(b.imag)) {
         ^

             return hypot_npy_float64(z.real, z.imag);

             z.imag = z_r * sin_npy_float64(z_theta);
             ^

and an error when imported:

ImportError: .../cybug.so: undefined symbol: fabs_npy_float64

The import error is a regression since Cython 0.24, the compiler warnings are also in the released Cython 0.24.
