Yes, I think the general approach is as expected, with the expectation 
that the addition of stdio-ieee128.h won't be in the final mainline 
patches and that the installed header handling of the new format on 
powerpc64le will only be enabled once all the library and header support 
for all functions and headers is ready.

If the minimum GCC version for building/testing glibc for powerpc64le 
increases (for example, because of new tests needing -mabi=ieeelongdouble 
to work), the corresponding configure and install.texi changes will need 
to go in before any other changes that have the effect of increasing the 
required GCC version.
