Gotcha, N32 and N64. I thought you confirmed that Embedded N32&N64
where also 128bit long doubles, but I was mistaken. And I ventured
that 064 would have better precision long doubles. Oh well.

Yes. I'll look at this when the most urgent problems are fixed.

The unwinder seems a bit shaky for instance :-(.

Thanks Daniel, hopefully I'll be able to send a patch late tonight
or tomorrow morning.
