I was planning to submit the TARGET_96_ROUND_53_LONG_DOUBLE
to gcc-current
some weeks ago, but testing showed that this had some issues
(I guess the
support has bit-rotted as it is only FreeBSD that uses it,
and nobody
works actively on gcc/FreeBSD).
I plan to investigate the failures soon, but there are
several more
serious problems on gcc/NetBSD right now...
