In the case of fma the selected function comes from compiler-rt-builtins.
It looks like since fmal calls fma within the context of the c-library the
c-library's version is branched to.

compiler-rt-builtins for hexagon should include a fmal function that jumps
to the optimized fma, it does not but I can fix that.

I generally only use the tip-of-tree clang and that isn't generating correct
code when building fma.c.  When I use our internally release llvm tools fma
and fmal tests both pass.

Thanks
