Although I have been testing the float128 branch with both GCC 6.2 and
GCC 7 for the past months, I accidentally tested it only with GCC 7 in a
few, more recent submissions to this list. Thanks for pointing that out
and, thanks to that, I found an error in include/float.h, which I fixed
for version 2 (already in the list).
I also addressed all other comments in this thread for the new version.
