Re: [PATCH 07/21] ARC: math soft float support

Missing spaces before '(' (should have such spaces in most cases between 
an identifier or keyword and '(' - calls to "defined", calls to functions, 
calls to macros, __attribute__, etc. - except for a few cases of calls to 
macros such as ElfW where the result is logically used like an 
identifier).

To confirm: hard-float and soft-float are always different ABIs; you don't 
support hard-float compilation using the soft-float function calling ABI 
(like is supported for ARM and RISC-V, for example)?  (If you support 
hard-float compilation with the soft-float ABI, it would be problematic to 
have different FE_TONEAREST values in the two cases - ARM and RISC-V both 
define all the FE_* macros independently of whether hard or soft float is 
used, because they support that case.)

This file should not be needed now.

This file does nothing (the name is wrong, the name actually used is 
math-tests-exceptions.h).  And it should not be needed unless you support 
hard-float compilation with the soft-float ABI (and thus define all the 
FE_* names in bits/fenv.h even for soft-float).

Again, not needed unless hard-float compilation with the soft-float ABI is 
supported and bits/fenv.h has corresponding contents.
