I saw errors that were actual incorrect results not just wrong
exception flags, like:

src/math/ucb/sqrt.h:49: RU sqrt(0x1.fffffffffffffp+1023) want 0x1p+512 got 0x1.fffffffffffffp+511 ulperr -0.250 = -0x1p-1 + 0x1p-2

At least they all seemed to be in non-default rounding modes though so
the impact is low-ish. These are probably all qemu bugs but hard to
say for sure...
