[Bug middle-end/27321] New: Compare against constant infinity fails with IBM long double format

["dvdfrdmn at users dot sf dot net" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Test code:
    long double x = __builtin_infl();
    int main() {
        int r = x == __builtin_infl();
        return r ? 0 : 1;
    }

Commands to reproduce:

    gcc -mlong-double-128 tc.c
    ./a.out && echo ok || echo fail

No problem with -mlong-double-64.

Cause:

GCC first transforms (x == infinity) to (x > long_double_max_val).
The maximum value returned by real_maxval is encoded as infinity due
to rounding in encode_ibm_extended.  This does not happen with the
LDBL_MAX declared in system headers because one of the bits is
cleared.

Potential fix:
