That is why inform() issues "note", not "warning". This also
avoids problems compiling libgcc with -Werror.
IMO, either we should issue a warning and use your specs hack or
issue a note and not use the hack.
I am concerned about the hack because it depends on
-mlong-double-64 occurring last on the commandline. If the inclusion
order of tmake Makefile frags causes -msoft-float to occur before
-mlong-double-128, the build will break. This seems very fragile.
