It's the first compiler code I try to read and for a moment I actually believed I could write the patch :) Below is my completely naive attempt. If you want to tell me where to go from here, I'll try. (For instance: how do I get 'rt_bits_double_complex_' to exist.) However, I think this is far beyond my skills...
