Do you have a better suggestion?

And, do you have time to review my patch at:
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-11/msg01851.html

Regarding the first part, i.e. whether libquadmath should only be build 
with Fortran or always, there is no consensus; so far I only saw two 
definite statements and a couple of no-opinions and a maybe-not, though 
for the latter it was not clear to me whether it was due to the build 
issues or going beyond.  -- However, I am more interested in the second 
part, i.e. getting libquadmath to build with cross compilers and under 
Solaris.
