-0400 (EDT) about 128-bit floating-point arithmetic on AMD64
processors.

On those systems, we have C/C++/Fortran compilers from GNU, Intel,
PathScale, Portland Group, and Sun, plus tcc and lcc.  The latter two
generate only IA-32 code.

None of these compilers provides 128-bit floating-point arithmetic on
this platform.

Several of those Fortran compilers support 128-bit floating point in software.
