I don't think it's particularly important which libm testsuite fixes end 
up in 2.18.  As regards fixes to make tests handle better cases where 
exceptions / rounding modes are defined in the headers but may not be 
supported at runtime, most of those should be safe during the freeze 
anyway.  But getting fully clean expected test results on more 
configurations (which is the point there - reducing the set of failures 
someone testing on soft-float ARM or MIPS needs to know to expect) is a 
fairly long-term goal.
