--- Comment #2 from Richard Earnshaw <rearnsha at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I suspect it's unlikely the EABI will be expanded in this direction; at least
until (unless) these types get implemented in hardware.
Furthermore, there's a high chance that if HW did implement 128-bit types, it
would be done in a way that was incompatible with any design choices we made
now, rendering a necessary ABI break or significant performance penalty.
My inclination is to close this as 'WONTFIX', with the understanding that if a
new ABI with such an extension does appear, support for it would be an
automatic step to implementing that ABI revision.
