The changes don't seem to include accurate range reduction. Without that,
I think this is inappropriate, as it will result in wildly inaccurate
results for large but finite inputs.
(I've stated before that all libm tests with finite inputs and outputs
should be run with -ffinite-math-only - and I consider that they should
pass when they pass without that option, and should not need different
ulps for the different ways of running them.)
