As I think I may have said before, it's an issue with your assembler
and/or your linker.  You have to figure out how to tell your assembler
and linker to build a program which will run on your system.  Most
likely there is a way to do it, but gcc is not doing it.

The .quad pseudo-op has nothing to do with libquadmath.  .quad means to
assemble an 8-byte constant.
