Fix lgammaf spurious underflows (bug 18220).
The flt-32 implementation of lgammaf produces spurious underflow exceptions for some large arguments, because of calculations involving x^-2 multiplied by small constants. This patch fixes this by adjusting the threshold for a simpler computation to 2**26 (the error in the simpler computation is on the order of 0.5 * log (x), for a result on the order of x * log (x)). Tested for x86_64 and x86. [BZ #18220] * sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32/e_lgammaf_r.c (__ieee754_lgammaf_r): Use 2**26 not 2**58 as threshold for returning x * (log (x) - 1). * math/auto-libm-test-in: Add another test of lgamma. * math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
