--- Comment #1 from Joseph Myers <jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
For the first, see also bug 19853 / bug 5268 (but that's marked as fixed, so
presumably this isn't exactly the same).

For the second, an inexact subnormal result means underflow, meaning it's
correct to set errno - and the subnormal range for IBM long double (the range
where the mantissa precision drops below 106 bits) is *wider* than that for
double.  So I don't see a bug disclosed there.
