[Bug other/32351] New: Wrong DFP format is used in libdecnumber

[hjl at lucon dot org]

libdecnumber is a build library which is used by compiler internaly
to support DFP. configure.ac in libdecnumber has

  case $target in
    powerpc*-*-linux* | i?86*-*-linux* | x86_64*-*-linux*)
      enable_decimal_float=yes
      ;;
    *)
      enable_decimal_float=no
      ;;
  esac
...
  case $target in
    i?86*-*-linux* | x86_64*-*-linux*)
      enable_decimal_float=bid
      ;;
    *)
      enable_decimal_float=dpd
      ;;
  esac


When gcc is configured as i686-linux or x86_64-linux, the target won't
match "i?86*-*-linux* | x86_64*-*-linux*". As the result, libdecnumber
will be wrongly configured to use DPD by default. A patch is posted at
