AFAIU, the expansion of __finitef128 to __redirect_finitef128 in
math/bits/mathcalls-helper-functions.h is expected.  The problem happens when
the same thing doesn't happen in include/math.h too.

In that case, I suggest to rewrite this part as:

The errors are due to the macro expansion of __finitef128 to
__redirect_finitef128 in math/bits/mathcalls-helper-functions.h without
expanding it in include/math.h too.

Likewise.
I suggest the following change:

/* The following definitions, although not related to the 'double'
   version of 'finite', are required to guarantee the macro expansion
   of __finitef to __redirect___finitef, etc. in
   math/bits/mathcalls-helper-functions.h and include/math.h.  */

Don't you have to undefine this macro later in this file?
