The glibc bits handle ieee quad format, whereas I don't believe
that Torbajorn's does. I don't recall if Torbajorn's code allows
for emulation of all rounding modes or exception bits.
But I suspect that Torbajorn's code compiles down smaller, which
is likely to be helpful to the folk that actually need it.

I wouldn't expect that to be a problem.
