I'm quite sure I nuked a Bugzilla report about not being able to build 
g77 on <embedded platform X> due to sanity checks in the front end 
triggering because X didn't have a type whose size was 2*sizeof(float).

(This had nothing to do with whether there was a floating type twice the 
size of "float" - there was *no* type twice the size of "float").

If there's interest I can dig up "X".
