Just another thought.
In Fortran, we have the possibility to define KIND numbers for
numeric types however we want.
So, it would be no problem to have two long double types
with distinct kind numbers, let's say KIND=16 for
one type and KIND=17 for the other. We can then let

Hi Michael,
I have shortened the distribution list somewhat for the Fortran-relevant
parts.
I want to discuss changes that I think we need to make across the open source

I want to discuss changes that I think we need to make across the open source
toochain to allow us to change the long double type on PowerPC hardware from
using the IBM extended double (i.e. a pair of doubles) to the IEEE 128-bit
format defined in IEEE 754.
I wasn't sure whom to address this to, s
