The test is unreadable except by the original author.

I'll note that there is a comment in fma_test.c

/*
  * This is needed because clang constant-folds fma in ways that are 
incorrect
  * in rounding modes other than FE_TONEAREST.
  */
static volatile double one = 1.0;

and the failing tests are

     testall(-one, one, one, rd ? -0.0 : 0.0, ALL_STD_EXCEPT, 0);
     testall(one, -one, one, rd ? -0.0 : 0.0, ALL_STD_EXCEPT, 0);
     testall(-one, -one, -one, rd ? -0.0 : 0.0, ALL_STD_EXCEPT, 0);

If one compares against MPFR,

    fesetround(FE_TONEAREST);
    dx = -1;
    dy = dz = 1;
    mpfr_fma(a, x, y, z, MPFR_RNDN);
    mpfr_printf("% Re % e\n", a, fma(dx, dy, dz));

    fesetround(FE_DOWNWARD);
    mpfr_fma(a, x, y, z, MPFR_RNDD);
    mpfr_printf("% Re % e\n", a, fma(dx, dy, dz));

    fesetround(FE_UPWARD);
    mpfr_fma(a, x, y, z, MPFR_RNDU);
    mpfr_printf("% Re % e\n", a, fma(dx, dy, dz));

    fesetround(FE_TOWARDZERO);
    mpfr_fma(a, x, y, z, MPFR_RNDZ);
    mpfr_printf("% Re % e\n", a, fma(dx, dy, dz));

cc gives a similar result.
