Bug description:
  root at kinetic:~/build# ./elf/ld.so --library-path .:math ./math/test-ibm128-llround
  testing long double (without inline functions)
  Failure: llround (0x7fffffffffffffff.8p0): Exception "Invalid operation" not set
  Failure: llround_downward (0x7fffffffffffffff.8p0): Exception "Invalid operation" not set
  Failure: llround_towardzero (0x7fffffffffffffff.8p0): Exception "Invalid operation" not set
  Failure: llround_upward (0x7fffffffffffffff.8p0): Exception "Invalid operation" not set

  Test suite completed:
    1156 test cases plus 656 tests for exception flags and
      656 tests for errno executed.
    4 errors occurred.

  Recompiling math/s_llroundl.os with gcc-11 or with gcc-12 -O1 is
  enough to fix this. Looking at the disassembly though I'm completely
  confused, feraiseexcept (FE_INVALID); is still getting called in the
  failing case and the code that runs after that looks the same (I've
  spent far too long trying to debug this). I've uploaded the .o files
  to https://people.canonical.com/~mwh/good.o and
  https://people.canonical.com/~mwh/bad.o -- good luck to the next
  person!

  A potential fix is here:

  For more details and discussions have a look at the attached upstream
  bug.
