This runs the attached sed script against these files using
a regex which aggressively matches long double literals
when not obviously part of a comment.
Likewise, 5 digit or less integral constants are replaced
with integer constants, excepting the two cases of 0 used
in large tables, which are also the only integral values
of the form x.0*E0L encountered within these converted
files.
Likewise, -L(x) is transformed into L(-x).
Naturally, the script has a few minor hiccups which are
more clearly remedied via the attached fixup patch. Such
hiccups include, context-sensitive promotion to a real
type, and munging constants inside harder to detect
comment blocks.

Add a layer of macro indirection for long double files
which need to be built using another typename. Likewise,
add the L(num) macro used in a later patch to override
real constants.
These macros are only defined through the ldbl-128
math_ldbl.h header, thereby implicitly restricting
these macros to machines which back long double
with an IEEE binary128 format.
Likewise, appropriate changes are made for the few
files which indirectly include such ldbl-128 files.
These changes produce identical binaries for s390x,
aarch64, and ppc64.

The existing implementations of lgamma functions (except for the ia64
versions) use the reflection formula for negative arguments. This
suffers large inaccuracy from cancellation near zeros of lgamma (near
where the gamma function is +/- 1).
This patch fixes this inaccuracy. For arguments above -2, there are
no zeros and no large cancellation, while for sufficiently large
negative arguments the zeros are so close to integers that even for
integers +/- 1ulp the log(gamma(1-x)) term dominates and cancellation
is not significant. Thus, it is only necessary to take special care
about cancellation for arguments around a limited number of zeros.
Accordingly, this patch uses precomputed tables of relevant zeros,
expressed as the sum of two floating-point values. The log of the
ratio of two sines can be computed accurately using log1p in cases
where log would lose accuracy. The log of the ratio of two gamma(1-x)
values can be computed using Stirling's approximation (the difference
between two values of that approximation to lgamma being computable
without computing the two values and then subtracting), with
appropriate adjustments (which don't reduce accuracy too much) in
cases where 1-x is too small to use Stirling's approximation directly.
In the interval from -3 to -2, using the ratios of sines and of
gamma(1-x) can still produce too much cancellation between those two
parts of the computation (and that interval is also the worst interval
for computing the ratio between gamma(1-x) values, which computation
becomes more accurate, while being less critical for the final result,
for larger 1-x). Because this can result in errors slightly above
those accepted in glibc, this interval is instead dealt with by
polynomial approximations. Separate polynomial approximations to
(|gamma(x)|-1)(x-n)/(x-x0) are used for each interval of length 1/8
from -3 to -2, where n (-3 or -2) is the nearest integer to the
1/8-interval and x0 is the zero of lgamma in the relevant half-integer
interval (-3 to -2.5 or -2.5 to -2).
Together, the two approaches are intended to give sufficient accuracy
for all negative arguments in the problem range. Outside that range,
the previous implementation continues to be used.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc. The mips64 and powerpc
testing shows up pre-existing problems for ldbl-128 and ldbl-128ibm
with large negative arguments giving spurious "invalid" exceptions
(exposed by newly added tests for cases this patch doesn't affect the
logic for); I'll address those problems separately.
