IEEE 128 Support Re: Cygwin Digest, Vol 22, Issue 26

[James McKelvey]

 I have an up-to-date Cygwin and the latest snapshot of gcc-11 on Windows 10. How do I have to configure to make C++use IEEE-128 for long double? No big deal, I'm just curious. I could build gcc-12 (or other) if that helps.

If you have that problem, you have an app in the BLODA.
Are you still running BeyondTrust or another AV?
You need to get Cygwin setup exes using upx bypassed or whitelisted by 
your support or the vendor.

Why would anyone want or need to do that manually: that implies a badly 
written app in the BLODA interfering with decompression, and that hasn't 
had any mentions as a problem for a couple of years!
