The following is about future developments after the float128 support is
ready and checked in, not about any issues with the patches themselves or
requirements for them to be included.
Once the support is included, I intend to enable it in glibc for the other
platforms where GCC supports float128 as ABI-distinct from long double
(x86_64, x86, ia64). (I intend eventually to enable support for *fN /
*fNx aliases for existing functions where the types are not ABI-distinct,
but I don't expect that to be for 2.26.)
Do you have any plans for additional float128 toolchain features, such as
tgmath.h support, *f128 GCC built-in functions beyond the minimal
__builtin_* set present for all _FloatN/_FloatNx types in GCC 7, or
libstdc++ support?
