Re: Correct libgcc complex multiply excess precision handling

libgcc complex multiply is meant to eliminate excess

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-09/msg01894.html I
accidentally inverted the logic so that values get forced to memory in
exactly the cases where it's not needed.  (This is a pessimization in
the no-excess-precision case, in principle could lead to bad results
depending on code generation in the excess-precision case.  Note: I do
not have a test demonstrating bad results.)

Ok.
