... as expected by the test.

I should have been clearer, sorry.

The code is OK, according to standard, nevertheless for non IEEE model tests do
fail on vectors testing EDOM. We can either change the test (perhaps test
errno), or exclude EDOM tests for non IEEE models. I proposed exclusion of EDOM
vectors for non IEEE model, because I didn't want to alter the test code, but
I'm open for suggestions.
