The CORE-MATH implementation is correctly rounded (for any rounding mode).
This can be checked by exhaustive tests in a few minutes since there are
less than 2^32 values to check against for example GNU MPFR.
This patch also adds some bench values for tgammaf.
Tested on x86_64 and x86 (cfarm26).
With the initial GNU libc code it gave on an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700:
"tgammaf": {
"": {
"duration": 3.50188e+09,
"iterations": 2e+07,
"max": 602.891,
"min": 65.1415,
"mean": 175.094
}
}
With the new code:
"tgammaf": {
"": {
"duration": 3.30825e+09,
"iterations": 5e+07,
"max": 211.592,
"min": 32.0325,
"mean": 66.1649
}
}
With the initial GNU libc code it gave on cfarm26 (i686):
"tgammaf": {
"": {
"duration": 3.70505e+09,
"iterations": 6e+06,
"max": 2420.23,
"min": 243.154,
"mean": 617.509
}
}
With the new code:
"tgammaf": {
"": {
"duration": 3.24497e+09,
"iterations": 1.8e+07,
"max": 1238.15,
"min": 101.155,
"mean": 180.276
}
}

Changes in v2:
- include <math.h> (fix the linknamespace failures)
- restored original benchtests/strcoll-inputs/filelist#en_US.UTF-8 file
- restored original wrapper code (math/w_tgammaf_compat.c),
except for the dealing with the sign
- removed the tgammaf/float entries in all libm-test-ulps files
- address other comments from Joseph Myers
(https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2024-July/158736.html)
Changes in v3:
- pass NULL argument for signgam from w_tgammaf_compat.c
- use of math_narrow_eval
- added more comments
Changes in v4:
- initialize local_signgam to 0 in math/w_tgamma_template.c
- replace sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/gamma_productf.c by dummy file
Changes in v5:
- do not mention local_signgam any more in math/w_tgammaf_compat.c
- initialize local_signgam to 1 instead of 0 in w_tgamma_template.c
and added comment
Changes in v6:
- pass NULL as 2nd argument of __ieee754_gammaf_r in
w_tgammaf_compat.c, and check for NULL in e_gammaf_r.c
