Dear Adhemerval,
thank you again for your useful comments.

I reset to 0 the j0/float values in sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/libm-test-ulps,
then ran "make regen-ulps", and got:
$ diff ../sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/libm-test-ulps /localdisk/zimmerma/glibc/build/math/NewUlps
1315c1315
< float: 0

> float: 8
1321c1321
< float: 0

> float: 4
1327c1327
< float: 0
---
> float: 5
1333c1333
< float: 0
---
> float: 5
which were the original values except for j0_towardzero (it was 6).
However the same applies to "master", so this is independent from my change.
Anyway, I decreased the value from 6 to 5.
Below is a v3.
Paul
