Fix powerpc software sqrtf (bug 17967).
Similarly to sqrt in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00353.html>, the powerpc sqrtf implementation for when _ARCH_PPCSQ is not defined also relies on a * b + c being contracted into a fused multiply-add. Although this contraction is not explicitly disabled for e_sqrtf.c, it still seems appropriate to make the file explicit about its requirements by using __builtin_fmaf; this patch does so. Furthermore, it turns out that doing so fixes the observed inaccuracy and missing exceptions (that is, that without explicit __builtin_fmaf usage, it was not being compiled as intended). Tested for powerpc32 (hard float). [BZ #17967] * sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/e_sqrtf.c (__slow_ieee754_sqrtf): Use __builtin_fmaf instead of relying on contraction of a * b + c.
