  There was one reason of this.  Usage of plumhall for testing the compiler.
Generally plumhall test contains many subtests and any error in one subtest
prevents running the remaining subtests.  The plumhall does not work with 80
bit long double.

I think that such infrastructure (possibility to change long double
implementation in a compiler) would be useful not only for i960.  But you are
right it would require efforts for tailoring real.[ch] for this.

I found inaccurate description of LONG_DOUBLE_TYPE_SIZE in tm.texi as simply
C expression.  May be therefore we missed that it is used as preprocessor
constant in real.[ch]
