[Bug target/29100] New: use of fmac causes excess precision problems

[amylaar at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The use of fmac (-m2e, -m3e, m4-single-only) causes excess precision
problems, which show up when running paranoia:

-Multiplication appears to round correctly.
+* is neither chopped nor correctly rounded. 

-Checking for sticky bit.
-Sticky bit apparently used correctly.
+Sticky bit used incorrectly or not at all.
+FLAW: lack(s) of guard digits or failure(s) to correctly round or chop
+(noted above) count as one flaw in the final tally below.
