	   * gdbtypes.c (builtin_type_arm_ext, builtin_type_ieee_single)
	   (builtin_type_ieee_double, builtin_type_ia64_quad)
	   (builtin_type_ia64_spill, _initialize_gdbtypes): Add tables of
	   BE/LE floating-point types.
	   * gdbtypes.h (builtin_type_arm_ext, builtin_type_ieee_single)
	   (builtin_type_ieee_double, builtin_type_ia64_quad)
	   (builtin_type_ia64_spill): Declare.

	   (floatformat_ieee_double, floatformat_arm_ext)
	   (floatformat_ia64_spill, floatformat_ia64_quad): Add tables

	   * doublest.h: (struct floatformat, floatformat_ieee_single)

	   (floatformat_ia64_spill, floatformat_ia64_quad): Declare.

   I'll follow up with a couple uses.

You'd better do that because right now I don't see where this is
heading.

Anyway, could we rename floatformat_ia64_quad to
floatformat_ieee_quad.  There are quite a few systems out there that
use or will be using the same format, and I believe i will be in a new
revision of the official IEEE standard for it.
