fma.3's RETURN VALUE section currently says:

| If one of x or y is an infinity, the other is 0, and z is not a NaN, a
| domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
|
| If one of x or y is an infinity, and the other is 0, and z is a NaN, a
| domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.

But the ERRORS section only says a domain error occurs in the first
case. If I'm understanding the glibc code for _FP_FMA in
soft-fp/op-common.h correctly, it looks like it raises the error
regardless of the value of z, so in both sections the "and z is ..."
part could be removed, making the two sentences above identical?
