when trying to "insmod" a  kernel  module  that  uses  floating-point
functions  like  "sin", we get error messages:

    unhandled relocation type 18

Does it also complain about a missing symbol for `sin'?

No, it does not.

We made sure to link the module with  the  math  library  to  resolve
those references.

But we still get those  error  messages;  the  first  is  always  for
lshrdi3  -  which is linked with our module (but also provided by the
kernel - could there be any problems?), and then we get a  long  list
of errors for pack and unpack functions - whatever they are.

18 is a PLTREL24 relocation, so a b/bl has to be involved, but it should be
a REL24 relocation, the PLT usage points to compilation of a module with
-fpic/-fPIC?
