On powerpc-darwin, real(16) is supported up to a point but since
Apple messed up things, it does not work for any language except for
languages which support C as things like sqrtl just point to the 64bit
version.  I wished Apple really thought this through instead of just
changing math.h.  Maybe I should have written in when they were 
designing
this but I did not know they would mess it up this far.
