This patch adds two configure options:
--disable-libquadmath
which disables the libquadmath build (e.g. to use the system's
libquadmath)

This isn't very clear. We already have --with-system-zlib, why not
--with-system-libquadmath?

Well, we also have: --enable-libada and --enable-libssp.

I have now used --with-system-libquadmath but I have to admit I find it much
more misleading. --disable-libquadmath does that the option was stating: It does
not build "libquadmath".

and --with-system-libquadmath implies that there is an externally available release of libquadmath, which I at least cannot find. I think the option renaming is misleading.
