x86_64 has a different long double format; those 5 and 6 are the same as 
other ldbl-128 architectures.  I think of a rule of thumb as being that 
ulps should be below 10.  (Actually, except for IBM long double in 
directed rounding modes, where we still need resolution on either putting 
suitable versions of the libgcc functions in glibc or adding *_round / 
*_ieee functions to libgcc that are enabled by suitable options, and 
except for m68k where probably some long double functions need their 
accuracy improved, all ulps are 7 or less.)
