See bug 24581.  Some aspects are a bug (GCC doesn't handle mixed 
real/complex arithmetic the way it should), some are the lack of imaginary 
types (though the only use of imaginary types I know of is this one for 
building up constants, and no-one on the Power ABI working group could 
find any implementation for Power Architecture that actually supports 
imaginary types).
