NuttX allows to select multiple option for math library (LIBM) and availability of thee options depends on the actual target and used toolchain. I expect that you have used ./tools/configure.sh raspberrypi-pico-w:nsh for configuration. This configuration does not specify exact LIBM and Kconfig default choice is LIBM_TOOLCHAIN , see libs/libm/Kconfig which is usually the best matching and the most performant library. You do not write which toolchain have you used. On Linux distribution, you usually need to install NewLib or its nano, pico variants separately. I ma not sure how it should be done in the specific case, I have usually my own toolchains setups and their customization.

The problem can be resolved for the most architectures to switch to NuttX provided LIBM, it can be suboptimal, but it is present directly in NuttX sources. Run make menuconfig or make qconfig and select

• Math library from NuttX (LIBM)

in

"Library Routines" -> "Standard C Library Options"

The other options are

• Math library from toolchain (LIBM_TOOLCHAIN)
• Math library from Newlib (LIBM_NEWLIB)
• No math library (LIBM_NONE)
• Math library from openlibm (LIBM_OPENLIBM)

It would worth to add some suggestion about toolchain to use into given platform page in the manual.

May it be it should go into common RaspberryPi rp2040 install section and use of the internal LIBM shoudl be mentioned as workaround. It could be quite slow because RPi1 Cortex-M0+ processor is quite obscure and performance can be used by some integer math accelerator peripherals and if float and double support functions can be written with its existence in mind, may it be even in assembly, than it can be much faster in some SD specific library...

The corresponding document source (where some clarification can be added) is Documentation/platforms/arm/rp2040.
