I don't understand from the audit trail why there are no plans to fix this
bug in gcc, ever.

This is an x86 -m128bit-long-double bug report.

The audit trail is a bit terse. You shouldn't think of this as something that will never be fixed, but rather as something that the maintainers decided wasn't their responsibility to fix. So it is waiting for a volunteer to fix it, rather than waiting for a maintainer to fix it. Another way to this of this is as a feature request rather than a bug fix.

The info in the audit trail does look a little harsh to me. This option apparently works for the AMD64 port, so I don't think it is completely broken. I think the problem is that all of the XFmode patterns with !TARGET_64BIT in the condition should instead be using !TARGET_128BIT_LONG_DOUBLE in the condition. Then the option should work for both 32-bit and 64-bit x86 targets.
