[Bug fortran/22629] Would like to access "long double" equivalent type as real*16

[kargl at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #2 from kargl at gcc dot gnu dot org  2005-12-15 17:41 -------
Gfortran will never support a real*16 data type on IA32 hardware.
This would require software emulation of all of basic floating-point 
arthimetic as well as implementation/modification of all intrinsic
procedures that accept real data types and revamping the IO subsystem.
I doubt that this will happen in my life time.

This PR should be closed.
