Hi,

So it turns out that the Darwin PPC port was  broken essentially “forever” 
(before the tidy-up in 8.2) with respect to mangling the symbols for __ibm128 
type (the default long double for the port).

In 7.x and earlier (at least back to Apple’s 4.2.1) the use passes right 
through rs6000_mangle_type, which causes it to mangle to ‘e’ - which is the 
representation for long double as a 64b value (-mlong-double-64).

This is fixable, even quite easily, but I think it’s better to have the break 
in the upstream sources on a major boundary (so we leave it alone and have the 
correction in 8+)

In due course, I will apply the following fix to my “vendor” branches (7, 6 and 
5) for anyone who actually cares.

cheers
Iain
