If you add the--with-long-double-128 switch when you build the compiler, it should avoid themessage.Similarly, when my patch to make -mfloat128 goes in, I reworked the test sothat float128 no longer checks if long doubles are 64 bits or 128 bits.However, if you are doing a cross compiler, you should make sure the longdouble support matches your target system (presumably configure the crosscompiler to use an appropriate glibc or add the --with-long-double-128configuration option).-- Michael Meissner, IBMIBM, M/S 2506R, 550 King Street, Littleton, MA 01460-6245, USAemail: meissner@linux.vnet.ibm.com, phone: +1 (978) 899-4797
