Gfortran will never support a real*16 data type on IA32 hardware.
This would require software emulation of all of basic floating-point
arthimetic as well as implementation/modification of all intrinsic
procedures that accept real data types and revamping the IO subsystem.
I doubt that this will happen in my life time.
This PR should be closed.
