--- Comment #8 from Michael Meissner <meissner at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Originally as the problem report said we thought __ibm128 and __float128 should
be separate types from the long double type. On June 5th, 2018, we changed the
compiler to use the long double type for __ibm128 if the default long double
type is IBM extended double and __float128 if the default long double type is
IEEE 128-bit. We made the default mangling for __ibm128 be "g", the same as
long double using IBM extended double format.
The changes have also been backported to GCC 8.x.
