Well, I understand what is wrong. Let's take `wf_asin.c', "i wonder"
hack:

  --- a/packages/language/c/libm/current/src/float/ieee754-api/wf_asin.c
  +++ b/packages/language/c/libm/current/src/float/ieee754-api/wf_asin.c
  @@ -88,8 +88,10 @@
   #ifdef CYGSEM_LIBM_COMPAT_IEEE_ONLY
       return __ieee754_asinf(x);
   #else
  -    double z;
  +    float z;
       z = __ieee754_asinf(x);
  +    printf("__ieee754_asinf(%f)=%f\n", x, z);
  +    return z;
       if(cyg_libm_get_compat_mode() == CYGNUM_LIBM_COMPAT_IEEE || isnanf(x))
return z;
       if(fabs(x)>1.0) {
           return __kernel_standard(x,x,2); /* asin(|x|>1) */

Then let's run `asinf' (a picture worth more than many words)

  INFO:<Still crunching, please wait...>
  __ieee754_asinf(-1.200000)=nan
  __ieee754_asinf(-1.190000)=nan
  ...
  __ieee754_asinf(-1.010000)=nan
  __ieee754_asinf(-1.000000)=-1.570796
  ...
  __ieee754_asinf(0.000000)=0.000000
  __ieee754_asinf(0.000000)=0.000000
  INFO:<Still crunching, please wait...>
  __ieee754_asinf(0.000000)=0.000000
  PASS:<asinf() is stable>
  EXIT:<Finished tests from testcase
/home/sg/repo/ecos-hg/packages/language/c/libm/current/tests/vectors/asinf.c
for Math library asinf() function>

Thus, IMHO, you have to implement own __kernel_standard_float() and
maybe another "float" wrappers to peace failed f-tests.

FYI, import

  cdl_option CYGSEM_LIBM_COMPAT_IEEE_ONLY {
      user_value 1
  };

breaks build of single precision tests. Some your headers have EDOM
used, but this value is not defined for such config conditions. Perhaps,
you need weak definition for that in `vector_support_float.h' header.

   // Not tested
   #ifdef CYGSEM_LIBM_COMPAT_IEEE_ONLY
   # ifndef EDOM
   #  define EDOM 33
   # endif
   #endif
