TFmode support depends on the patterns being enabled, not on
generic 64-bit target support. The PowerPC MD file has the patterns for
128-bit long double support as defined by AIX and 64-bit PowerPC Linux,
but it is not enabled by default because not all of the infrastructure has
been committed. The 128-bit long double argument passing support is
waiting for a patch to the argument-passing part of the GCC common back
end to be merged into the FSF sources.
