Looks good to me, and it is a good way to resolve this. This code is
too old (and unimportant) to do serious engineering on. If we want
any serious optimisation on it we should do that at tree level (why does
that not happen yet anyway?), and inline all of this. This patch is
really just to make benchmark results saner ;-)
Thanks David!

[PATCH] Inline IBM long double __gcc_qsub
rs6000: inline ldouble __gcc_qsub
While performing some tests of IEEE 128 float for PPC64LE, Michael
Meissner noticed that __gcc_qsub is substantially slower than
__gcc_qadd. __gcc_qsub valls __gcc_add with the second operand
negated. Because the functions normally are invoked through
libgcc shared object, the extra PLT overhead has a large impact
on the overall time of the function. Instead of trying to be
fancy with function decorations to prevent interposition, this
patch inlines the definition of __gcc_qadd into __gcc_qsub with
the negation propagated through the function.
libgcc/ChangeLog:
* config/rs6000/ibm-ldouble.c (__gcc_qsub): Inline negated
__gcc_qadd.
