Hi Adhemerval,

Thanks. You can test whether some other fma() bug is lurking, by running the
Gnulib test suite for that module:

  $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git
  $ cd gnulib
  $ git checkout 71c3d121ff2db4ba95c2b2a10805d1946f5db4bf
  $ ./gnulib-tool --test fma-ieee

Despite the backport to glibc 2.43.x branch, there is a significant number of
systems which have this bug (Ubuntu 26.04 and derivatives, and Fedora 44).
Therefore it's reasonable if this workaround stays in Gnulib.
