The only difference is the usage of math_narrow_eval when
building s_fdiml.c. This should be harmless for long double,
but I did observe some code generation changes on m68k, but
lack the resources to test it.
Likewise, to more easily support overriding symbol generation,
the aliasing macros are always conditionally defined on their
absence to reduce boilerplate.
I also ran builds for i486, ppc64, sparcv9, aarch64,
s390x and observed no changes to s_fdim* objects.

sparc32 passes floating point values in the integer registers. VIS3
instructions gives access to the movwtos instruction to directly
transfer a value from an integer register to a floating point register.
Therefore it makes sense to provide a VIS3 version consisting in the
generic version compiled with -mvis3.
Changelog:
* math/s_fdim.c: Avoid alias renamed.
* math/s_fdimf.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/sparcv9/fpu/multiarch/Makefile
[$(subdir) = math && $(have-as-vis3) = yes] (libm-sysdep_routines):
Add s_fdimf-vis3, s_fdim-vis3.
(CFLAGS-s_fdimf-vis3.c): New. Set to -Wa,-Av9d -mvis3.
(CFLAGS-s_fdim-vis3.c): Likewise.
sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/sparcv9/fpu/multiarch/s_fdim-vis3.c: New file.
sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/sparcv9/fpu/multiarch/s_fdim.c: Likewise.

Some architectures have their own versions of fdim functions, which
are missing errno setting (bug 6796) and may also return sNaN instead
of qNaN for sNaN input, in the case of the x86 / x86_64 long double
versions (bug 20256).
These versions are not actually doing anything that a compiler
couldn't generate, just straightforward comparisons / arithmetic (and,
in the x86 / x86_64 case, testing for NaNs with fxam, which isn't
actually needed once you use an unordered comparison and let the NaNs
pass through the same subtraction as non-NaN inputs). This patch
removes the x86 / x86_64 / powerpc versions, so that those
architectures use the generic C versions, which correctly handle
setting errno and deal properly with sNaN inputs. This seems better
than dealing with setting errno in lots of .S versions.
The i386 versions also return results with excess range and precision,
which is not appropriate for a function exactly defined by reference
to IEEE operations. For errno setting to work correctly on overflow,
it's necessary to remove excess range with math_narrow_eval, which
this patch duly does in the float and double versions so that the
tests can reliably pass on x86. For float, this avoids any double
rounding issues as the long double precision is more than twice that
of float. For double, double rounding issues will need to be
addressed separately, so this patch does not fully fix bug 20255.
Tested for x86_64, x86 and powerpc.

The generic fdim implementations have unnecessarily complicated code,
using fpclassify to determine whether the arguments are NaNs,
subtracting NaNs if so and otherwise subtracting the non-NaN arguments
if not (x <= y), then using fpclassify on the result to see if it is
infinite.
This patch simplifies the code. Instead of handling NaNs separately,
it suffices to use an unordered comparison with islessequal (x, y) to
determine whether to return zero, and otherwise NaNs can go through
the same subtraction as non-NaN arguments; no explicit tests for NaN
are needed at all. Then, isinf instead of fpclassify can be used to
determine whether to set errno (in the normal non-overflow case, only
one classification will need to occur, unlike the three in the
previous code, of which two occurred even if returning zero, because
the result will not be infinite in the normal case).
The resulting logic is essentially the same as that in the powerpc
version, except that the powerpc version is missing errno setting and
uses <= not islessequal, so relying on
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58684>, the GCC bug that
unordered comparison instructions are wrongly used on powerpc for
ordered comparisons.
The compiled code for fdim and fdimf on x86_64 is less than half the
size of the previous code.
Tested for x86_64.
* math/s_fdim.c (__fdim): Use islessequal and isinf instead of
fpclassify.
* math/s_fdimf.c (__fdimf): Likewise.
* math/s_fdiml.c (__fdiml): Likewise.
