Out of curiosity, I tried this on Cygwin, and obviously:

$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/foo && make && make install
[...]
checking whether __float128 is supported... no
configure: error: __float128 support is required to build this library.

So, what does Cygwin people need to have QP with gfortran?

I have tried to build libquad with gcc-4.3.4 (from Cygwin packages) and 
with gcc-4.6 (my build of the last snapshot).

I haven't understood if it regards Cygwin itself or GCC with which 
libquad should be build...

Thanks,
Angelo.
