On hppa-linux, there is no support for float128.  Long double and double 
use the same 64-bit
IEEE format.  Target is big endian.

There's nothing special in gcc's float support as far as I know.

Signalling nans use "mips" format.

The alignment for double is 8 bytes and strict.  The linux kernel 
handles unaligned floating
point loads and stores

Helge, would you please provide an account for Ole on phantom.

Thanks,
