+==================== work109 branch, patch #2 ====================
+
+Rework 128-bit complex multiply and divide.
+
+This patch reworks how the complex multiply and divide built-in functions are
+done. Previously we created built-in declarations for doing long double complex
+multiply and divide when long double is IEEE 128-bit. The old code also did not
+support __ibm128 complex multiply and divide if long double is IEEE 128-bit.
+
+In terms of history, I wrote the original code just as I was starting to test
+GCC on systems where IEEE 128-bit long double was the default. At the time, we
+had not yet started mangling the built-in function names as a way to bridge
+going from a system with 128-bit IBM long double to 128-bin IEEE long double.
+
+The original code depends on there only being two 128-bit types invovled. With
+the next patch in this series, this assumption will no longer be true. When
+long double is IEEE 128-bit, there will be 2 IEEE 128-bit types (one for the
+explicit __float128/_Float128 type and one for long double).
+
+The problem is we cannot create two separate built-in functions that resolve to
+the same name. This is a requirement of add_builtin_function and the C front
+end. That means for the 3 possible modes (IFmode, KFmode, and TFmode), you can
+only use 2 of them.
+
+This code does not create the built-in declaration with the changed name.
+Instead, it uses the TARGET_MANGLE_DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME hook to change the name
+before it is written out to the assembler file like it now does for all of the
+other long double built-in functions.
+
+When I wrote these patches, I discovered that __ibm128 complex multiply and
+divide had originally not been supported if long double is IEEE 128-bit as it
+would generate calls to __mulic3 and __divic3. I added tests in the testsuite
+to verify that the correct name (i.e. __multc3 and __divtc3) is used in this
+case.
+
+I had previously sent this patch out on November 1st. Compared to that version,
+this version no longer disables the special mapping when you are building
+libgcc, as it turns out we don't need it.
+
+I tested all 3 patchs for PR target/107299 on:
+
+ 1) LE Power10 using --with-cpu=power10 --with-long-double-format=ieee
+ 2) LE Power10 using --with-cpu=power10 --with-long-double-format=ibm
+ 3) LE Power9 using --with-cpu=power9 --with-long-double-format=ibm
+ 4) BE Power8 using --with-cpu=power8 --with-long-double-format=ibm
+
+Once all 3 patches have been applied, we can once again build GCC when long
+double is IEEE 128-bit. There were no other regressions with these patches.
+Can I check these patches into the trunk?

+==================== work109 branch, patch #1 ====================
+
+PR target/107299: Fix build issue when long double is IEEE 128-bit
+
+This patch updates the IEEE 128-bit types used in libgcc.
+
+At the moment, we cannot build GCC when the target uses IEEE 128-bit long
+doubles, such as building the compiler for a native Fedora 36 system. The
+build dies when it is trying to build the _mulkc3.c and _divkc3 modules.
+
+This patch changes libgcc to use long double for the IEEE 128-bit base type if
+long double is IEEE 128-bit, and it uses _Float128 otherwise. The built-in
+functions are adjusted to be the correct version based on the IEEE 128-bit base
+type used.
+
+While it is desirable to ultimately have __float128 and _Float128 use the same
+internal type and mode within GCC, at present if you use the option
+-mabi=ieeelongdouble, the __float128 type will use the long double type and not
+the _Float128 type. We get an internal compiler error if we combine the
+signbitf128 built-in with a long double type.
+
+I've gone through several iterations of trying to fix this within GCC, and
+there are various problems that have come up. I developed this alternative
+patch that changes libgcc so that it does not tickle the issue. I hope we can
+fix the compiler at some point, but right now, this is preventing people on
+Fedora 36 systems from building compilers where the default long double is IEEE
+128-bit.
+
+I have built a GCC compiler tool chain on the following platforms and there
+were no regressions caused by these patches.
+
+ * Power10 little endian, IBM long double, --with-cpu=power10
+
+ * Power9 little endian, IBM long double, --with-cpu=power9
+
+ * Power8 big endian, IBM long double, --with-cpu=power8, both
+ 32-bit/64-bit tests.
+
+In addition, I have built a GCC compiler tool chain on the following systems
+with IEEE 128-bit long double as the default. Comparing the test suite runs to
+the runs for the toolchain with IBM long double as the default, I only get the
+expected differences (C++ modules test fail on IEEE long double, 3 Fortran
+tests pass on IEEE long double that fail on IBM long double, C test pr105334.c
+fails, and C test fp128_conversions.c fails on power10):
+
+ * Power10 little endian, IEEE long double, --with-cpu=power10
+
+ * Power9 little endian, IEEE long double, --with-cpu=power9
+
+Can I check this change into the master branch?
