The long double data type on the X86 cross compiler is broken, seriously broken. I'm just curious about what format they intend it to be. The sizeof operator says it's 16 bytes, implying it's using 128-bits. Are they assuming the assuming the hardware doesn't support 128-bit fp and trying to do a software implementation?
