I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

It turns out the __SSE2_MATH__ conditional in sysdeps/x86/fpu/s_ffma.c
does not cover all cases where the x86 fenv_private.h macros might
manipulate one of the SSE and 387 floating-point state, while the
actual fma implementation uses the other. Specifically, in the 32-bit
case, with a compiler not defaulting to -mfpmath=sse, but testing on a
processor with hardware FMA support, the multiarch fma function
implementations will end up using SSE, while the fenv_private.h macros
will use the 387 state for double. Change the conditional to use the
default macros rather than the optimized ones in all cases except when
the compiler inlines an fma instruction (in which case, since all
those instructions are SSE instructions and -mfpmath=sse must be in
effect for them to be inlined, the optimized macros will only use the
SSE state and it's OK for them to only use the SSE state).
Tested for x86_64 and x86. H.J. reports in
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-September/131367.html>
that it fixes the problems he observed.
On 32-bit x86 with -mfpmath=sse, and on x86_64 with
--disable-multi-arch, the tests of ffma and its aliases (fma narrowing
from binary64 to binary32) fail. This is probably the issue reported
by H.J. in
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-September/131277.html>.
The problem is the use of fenv_private.h macros in the round-to-odd
implementation. Those macros are set up to manipulate only one of the
SSE and 387 floating-point state, whichever is relevant for the type
indicated by the suffix on the macro name. But x86 configurations
sometimes use the ldbl-96 implementation of binary64 fma (that's where
--disable-multi-arch is relevant for x86_64: it causes the ldbl-96
implementation to be used, instead of an IFUNC implementation that
falls back to the dbl-64 version), contrary to the expectations of
those macros for functions operating on double when __SSE2_MATH__ is
defined.
This can be addressed by using the default versions of those macros
(giving x86 its own version of s_ffma.c), as is done for the *f128
macro variants where it depends on the details of how GCC was
configured when building libgcc which floating-point state is affected
by _Float128 arithmetic. The issue only applies when __SSE2_MATH__ is
defined, and doesn't apply when __FP_FAST_FMA is defined (because in
that case, fma will be inlined by the compiler, meaning it's
definitely an SSE operation; for the same reason, this is not an issue
for narrowing sqrt, as hardware sqrt is always inlined in that
implementation for x86), but in other cases it's safest to use the
default versions of the fenv_private.h macros to ensure things work
whichever fma implementation is used.
Tested for x86_64 (with and without --disable-multi-arch) and x86
(with and without -mfpmath=sse).
