I'm not sure what you are asking.  If you install the three critical IEEE
128-bit long double patches, and then configure a build with long double
defaulting to IEEE 128-bit, the nextafter-2 test will fail.

The reason is the nextafterl function in GLIBC assumes long double is IBM
128-bit extended double.  The __builtin_nextafterl function calls that
function.

If you compile it normally (with long double using IEEE 128-bit), the compiler
will automatically map nextafterl to __nextafterieee128.

Similarly if you include math.h, and use the -fno-builtin option, the math.h
library will still map nextafterl into __nextafterieee128, and the compiler
will call it.

However, if you do not include math.h and use the -fno-builtin option, the
compiler will call nextafterl, and get the wrong results, because the wrong
function was called.

What I meant in terms of the 3 patches being separated, the last time I posted
a patch for this problem, I grouped together 3 test suite failures into one
patch.  This time, I separated the cases into 3 separate patches (this one, the
fix for pr70117, and the fix for the decimal conversion test).

Sure, the comment is just trying to explain why math.h needs to be included.
