OK! Is 128-bit floating point type supported on AMD64
running the FX's x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu?
More precisely, I was trying to test a piece of code using
real(16) executing (not working) on a G5 under OSX 10.3 (PPC)
on an AMD64 box under linux where I got the error.
I was a bit surprised because as far as a know real(16) floats
are not supported by the G5 hardware, but a some software
emulation (gmp/mpfr?). I was just expecting the same for AMD64,
why shouldn't it be?
