If -mieee is needed for IEEE arithmetic, then sysdeps/sh/sh4/Makefile
needs to do
sysdep-CFLAGS += -mieee
or similar, much like ports/sysdeps/alpha/Makefile does. It shouldn't
rely on the user passing special options when building glibc, glibc should
use the right options automatically.
(But I notice
/* If the -mieee option was not explicitly set by the user, turn it on
unless -ffinite-math-only was specified. See also PR 33135. */
if (! global_options_set.x_TARGET_IEEE)
TARGET_IEEE = ! flag_finite_math_only;
in GCC, suggesting this should be the default - is it not working for some
reason?)

Those all seem to involve subnormals, so I suspect some problem with those
somewhere.
Incidentally, I notice that SH4 has an fmac instruction (single-precision
only) - if it is indeed a fused operation, it might make sense to use it
to implement fmaf for sh/sh4/fpu (once the other problems are fixed - this
is of course just an optimization).
