I appreciate that the actual code is cut'n'paste from c-cppbuiltin.c,
but have you considered recoding the algorithm to avoid the use of
real_from_string?  It makes sense to construct this floating point
constant as an ASCII string in c-cppbuiltin.c as that's how it'll be
used there, but this seems like unnecessary overhead in real.c where
the hex values you want can be written directly into the REAL_VALUE_TYPE.

p.s. I think the simple test case from your posting seems sufficient.

Thanks in advance,

Roger
