No, there were no previous ABI test failures.  They were correct before, since without
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH, those functions are hidden (see include/math.h).
I added that define because I was getting new build failures on some signgam
tests without it, something like these:

https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-11/msg00172.html

I noticed that every other platform defined that macro except hppa. And since
every platform except hppa seems to export __isinfl and friends, adding it to the
tile ABI list seemed like the right fix.  This fix is also due to my seeing references
to bug 19270 and a fix for hppa recently:

Yes, I agree that exporting them seems pointless, but every other architecture does
as well, so it seemed uncontroversial.  And I only chose 2.12 on the theory that they
should have been exported then.  I don't really care what version I export them as,
since there's really no way for userspace to generate a reference to them, since the
macrology in math/math.h can't generate a reference to them no matter whether
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH is defined or not.  Let me know if you have an idea for
what would be cleaner here and I am happy to make the change, but it does seem
like it should be a change for every platform without long double, not just tile.
Thanks!
