I'd like to ping this patch
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2024-April/155960.html>, and,
in particular:
(a) the actual content of the patch, which no-one has commented on
(instead preferring to suggest other things to add to it);
(b) the questions of what goes in such patches, where I argue that we
should not expect libm-test-ulps updates for more than one architecture,
or additional test inputs based on searches for worst-case inputs, to be
included in such a patch: that it should be sufficient to include
libm-test-ulps updates for a single architecture, and tests that seem
appropriate based on the mathematical properties of the function being
tested, and further additions there can reasonably be made in followup
patches. (Note that even if we moved to a single libm-test-ulps shared
between architectures and listing expected ulps based on floating-point
format rather than type, it still wouldn't be possible to update all ulps
on a single system: no architecture supports both ldbl-96 and
ldbl-128ibm.)
