Hi FX,
I’m not opposed, but I’d really like to get this into the current branch. It is a much less invasive change than the power-ieee128 work. The only case I changed is the case where there is a kind 16, and there is a long double, but the long double is neither kind 10 neither kind 16. I don’t think there is such a platform currently (otherwise it wouldn’t have worked).
I did a bootstrap and test on POWER, and it did not cause any regressions. So, OK for trunk. Thanks for the patch! Regards Thomas
