Could you send v2 patch with all the fixes indicated by Joseph and Andreas
(this change from a change format is confusing)? Also please fix the
indentation issue and the open brackets on next line.
I also think this fix should also add an entry on math/auto-libm-test-out-y0
that exercises this code path and with a check if the ULPs file require
some adjustments as well.
