| FYI:  While Linux on IA64 uses the 80 bit format, HP-UX does not.  It
| uses the full 128 bit format for long double.  In gcc/config/ia64 the
| floating point format is determined by the macro
| INTEL_EXTENDED_IEEE_FORMAT.  (1 for 80 bit format, 0 for 128 bit
| format).  This is because the HP-UX C and C++ compilers also use 128
| bits for long double in order to be compatible with the HP-UX PA
| compilers.

Thanks, that is helpful.
