In doing some testing on a big endian system, it getting hairy to add support
to add optional multilibs for ieee/ibm.  On the BE system, the default cpu is
a power4, and so the IEEE emulator is not built unless you configure to make
power7, power8, or power9 the default cpu.  In addition, the BE system already
has multilibs for 64 vs. 32 bit.  While these things can be handled, it is not
currently planned to ultimately switch the long double format in BE.  So, this
patch replaces the previous patch, and it only allows you to switch the long
double format for powerpc64le-*-linux* systems.

Except for configure.ac and configure, all of the other changes are the same.

I have tested the patch on BE systems, and it builds normally providing you do
not use the --with-long-double-format option.

2018-01-05  Michael Meissner  <meissner@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

	* configure.ac (--with-long-double-format): Add support for
	configuration option to change the default long double format on
	little endian PowerPC Linux systems.
	* configure: Regenerate.
	* config.gcc (powerpc*-linux*-*): Add support for
	--with-long-double-format={ieee,ibm}.  If the format is explicit
	set, also set up IBM and IEEE multilibs.
	* config/rs6000/rs6000.h (FLOAT128_IEEE_P): Explicitly check for
	128-bit long doubles before checking TFmode or TCmode.
	(FLOAT128_IBM_P): Likewise.
	(TARGET_IEEEQUAD_MULTILIB): Set to 0 if not already defined.
	* config/rs6000/rs6000.c (rs6000_option_override_internal): If we
	have IBM/IEEE multilibs, don't give a warning if the user chagnes
	the long double format.
	(is_complex_IBM_long_double): Explicitly check for 128-bit long
	doubles before checking TCmode.
	* config/rs6000/rs6000-c.c (rs6000_cpu_cpp_builtins): If long
	double is IEEE, define __KC__ and __KF__ to allow floatn.h to be
	used without modification.
	* config/rs6000/linux64.h (MULTILIB_DEFAULTS_IEEE): Specify the
	-mabi={ieee,ibm}longdouble default for multilibs.
	(MULTILIB_DEFAULTS): Likewise.
	* config/rs6000/t-ldouble: New file, add IEEE/IBM long double
	multilibs.

	* config/rs6000/quad-float128.h (IBM128_TYPE): Explicitly use
	__ibm128, instead of trying to use long double.
	(CVT_FLOAT128_TO_IBM128): Use TFtype instead of __float128 to
	accomidate -mabi=ieeelongdouble multilibs.
	(CVT_IBM128_TO_FLOAT128): Likewise.
	* config/rs6000/ibm-ldouble.c (IBM128_TYPE): New macro to define
	the appropriate IBM extended double type.
	(__gcc_qadd): Change all occurances of long double to IBM128_TYPE.
