commit 600fa36158cd741d897b2d22c735c60247b982e0

    Fix nextafter overflow in non-default rounding modes (bug 16677).

    ISO C requires the result of nextafter to be independent of the
    rounding mode, even when underflow or overflow occurs.  This patch
    fixes the bug in various nextafter implementations that, having done
    an overflowing computation to force an overflow exception (correct),
    they then return the result of that computation rather than an
    infinity computed some other way (incorrect, when the overflowing
    result of arithmetic with that sign and rounding mode is finite but
    the correct result is infinite) - generally by falling through to
    existing code to return a value that in fact is correct for this case
    (but was computed by an integer increment and so without generating
    the exceptions required).  Having fixed the bug, the previously
    deferred conversion of nextafter testing in libm-test.inc to
    ALL_RM_TEST is also included.

    Tested x86_64 and x86; also spot-checked results of nextafter tests
    for powerpc32 and mips64 to test the ldbl-128ibm and ldbl-128
    changes.  (The m68k change is untested.)

        [BZ #16677]
        * math/s_nextafter.c (__nextafter): Do not return value from
        overflowing computation.
        * sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_nextafterl.c (__nextafterl): Likewise.
        * sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32/s_nextafterf.c (__nextafterf): Likewise.
        * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128/s_nextafterl.c (__nextafterl):
        Likewise.
        * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_nextafterl.c (__nextafterl):
        Likewise.
        * sysdeps/m68k/m680x0/fpu/s_nextafterl.c (__nextafterl): Likewise.
        * math/libm-test.inc (nextafter_test): Use ALL_RM_TEST.
