Would you mind using <code>...</code> instead of <tt>...</tt> and
making this a link to gcc-4.6/changes.html#libquadmath (adding that
as an id="libquadmath" at the changes.html page)?

How about changing the last two sentences

  The library is used to provide on such targets the <tt>REAL(16)</tt> 
  type in GNU Fortran compiler. The library has been contributed by 
  Fran&ccedil;ois-Xavier Coudert.

to 

  The library is used to provide the <code>REAL(16)</code> type on
  such targets.  It has been contributed by Fran&ccedil;ois-Xavier 
  Coudert.
