OK! Is 128-bit floating point type supported on AMD64
running the FX's x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu?

No.

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.

real(16) is supported on ppc-darwin, by combination of two doubles (but you're almost completely insulated from this internal detail).
