--- Comment #1 from Robert Clausecker <fuz@FreeBSD.org> ---
This is the same story as memcmp().  The C standard does not specify whether +0
or -0 is returned if the two are passed to fmax() or fmin() and compilers will
optimise this.

We should instead document that our libm supports a stricter behaviour than
what
the C standard guarantees (as we did with memcmp()) and recommend that users
pass
-fno-builtin-fmax and -fno-builtin-fmin or use one of the new C23 functions if
they wish to have the stricter behaviour guaranteed.
