I think the comment, not just the commit message should explain the issue (i.e., that only libnldbl nonlib testsuite should logically be using -fmath-errno, but everything apart from libm is currently using -fmath-errno because of that GCC bug). (I would say that the comment should give the GCC version in which the bug is fixed to make it obvious when we can change the code back, but that doesn't work when the GCC bug isn't yet fixed.) Could you add a testcase to the testsuite (that appropriately interposes malloc to demonstrate the bug as in the one attached to the bug, thus failing before the Makeconfig fix and passing after it)?

Commit 1294b1892e ("Add support for sqrt asm redirects") added the -fno-math-errno flag to build most of the glibc in order to enable GCC to inline math functions. Due to GCC bug #88576, saving and restoring errno around calls to malloc are optimized-out. In turn this causes strerror to set errno to ENOMEM if it get passed an invalid error number and if malloc sets errno to ENOMEM (which might happen even if it succeeds). This is not allowed by POSIX. This patch changes the build flags, building only libm with -fno-math-errno and all the remaining code with -fno-math-errno. This should be safe as libm doesn't contain any code saving and restoring errno around malloc. This patch can probably be reverted once the GCC bug is fixed and available in stable releases. Tested on x86-64, no regression in the testsuite.
