Math library doesn't provide it, __lekf2 is from libgcc (GCC itself).
The reason why the __lekf2 behaves differently on P8 and P9 is that
we have SW and HW versions for __lekf2, when the underlying "CPU
"supports 128-bit IEEE binary floating point instructions.", it will
use __lekf2_hw instead of __lekf2_sw, the former still adopts
insn xscmpuqp, then it fails.

So 
1) for ppc_float128_hw, it generates xscmpuqp then fails.
2) for !ppc_float128_hw, it uses __lekf2 but the underlying ENV
   supports __builtin_cpu_supports ("ieee128"), it exploits
   xscmpuqp, then fails.

Ideally we should use one effective target like ppc_ieee128_hw to
indicate the underlying ENV supports __builtin_cpu_supports ("ieee128")
but I think it may not be worth to adding that at this stage, so
I'd suggest xfail-ing it for "ppc_float128_hw || (ppc_cpu_supports_hw && 
p9vector_hw)".
