[Bug c/34473] New: casting negative __int128_t to float/double rounds to nearest multiple of 2048

["james at albanarts dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

casting a negative _int128_t value to a float or double rounds the resulting
floating point number to the nearest multiple of 2048.

the following C program demonstrates which I compiled with the compile string
"gcc":

int main()
{
        __int128_t x = -1025;
        double f = x;
        return f < -1500.0;
}

I would expect the exit code of the program to be 0. f should get set to
-1025.0, which is not < -1500.0.

However when I compile and run this the exit code is 1.

Further examination shows that f gets the following values:
    0.0 for x in the range -1024 to 0
-2048.0 for x in the range -3060 to -1025
    ...etc...

When x is positive f gets set to the expected (the same) value.

"gcc -v" output:
