The treatment of long doubles on HPUX and Linux is different.  Long
doubles are 128-bit IEEE format on HPUX.  They are 64-bit IEEE format
on Linux (i.e., same as double).  Arguments larger than 64 bits are
passed by indirect reference.  Thus, the 128-bit format is always passed
by reference.  Smaller arguments are passed by value.
