Does it test for real(10) and/or real(16)?

This is probably the best way to keep track of things.  If we had
a single PR, it could get bogged down by a single intrinsic procedure
that is difficult to fix.

This touchs on an observation of Brooks' that the tests in the
testsuite (which test intrinsics), typically only test the 
constant folding in the frontend.  We should devise tests for
both constant folding and the library routines.  I think the 
test can go into gfortran.dg for now.  At some point, we may 
move things into libgfortran.dg.
