Support for the decimal floating point C extension could be mentioned
in the release notes for GCC 4.2, but there it's only supported for
powerpc*-linux and x86*-linux and only if requested at configure time.
The ABI for powerpc*-linux has changed since then, and the
representation will (has?) changed for x86*-linux. Is this worth
documenting for 4.2?
