  Since floating-point operation may trigger floating-point exceptions,
we call math_opt_barrier inside if to prevent code motion.

Tested on x86-64.  OK for trunk?

Please send a patch updating all implementations for which this issue is 
applicable.

There are

dbl-64/e_sqrt.c:      libc_feholdexcept_setround (&env, FE_TONEAREST);
dbl-64/s_fma.c:  libc_feholdexcept_setround (&env, FE_TONEAREST);
dbl-64/s_fmaf.c:  libc_feholdexcept_setround (&env, FE_TOWARDZERO);

under sysdeps/ieee754.   dbl-64/s_fma.c is the only one with this
problem.

I disagree with that analysis.  The question isn't whether there's a call 
to a particular internal interface.  The question is whether there are 
conditionals on arithmetic, such that the arithmetic is exact in the 
conditional case but may be inexact if moved before the conditional.  I 
think at least ldbl-96/s_fmal.c, ldbl-96/s_fma.c and ldbl-128/s_fmal.c 
have the same issue.
