Note that for 32-bit SPARC you should make sure to use -mlong-double-128 
with the compiler (for some reason the 32-bit multilib of a sparc64 
compiler doesn't default to that, even when GCC is configured against a 
current glibc version - see 
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-12/msg00318.html>).  At least, I 
suspect this peculiarity explains the linknamespace failures listed at 
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.26#SPARC_.2832-bit.29> - 
which represent a genuine namespace bug in the nldbl-compat code, but not 
one that should show up in normal testing.
