PowerPC's math_ldbl.h

Hi!

I just noticed that PowerPC's sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/math_ldbl.h is slightly
different from the generic sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/math_ldbl.h.

Is especially the assertion that »gcc generates disgusting code to pack
and unpack long doubles« still true in today's world?

Also, it seems to me that Anton's spelling fix commit
2ccdea26f290f6990606f4a43de5272afa1a784d should be applied to the generic
file, too, and vice versa Adhemerval's bug fix commit
34ae0b3270c67cae0c54ac98b693fdf7d010a206 might be needed for the
PowerPC-specific file, too?

In the end, can we perhaps completely get rid of the PowerPC-specific
file?


Grüße,
 Thomas
