Just pointing out that they only modify their amd64/x86_64 code which doesn't
push/pop rax/eax:

and their other patches do exactly the same for modf.c and modff.c, and not
their i386/x86 code which pushes/pops eax; where you do (adding lines back for
context) mark eax as clobbered after a pop in x86 patch:
