This patch updates the IEEE 128-bit types used in libgcc. At the moment, we cannot build GCC when the target uses IEEE 128-bit long doubles, such as building the compiler for a native Fedora 36 system. The build dies when it is trying to build the _mulkc3.c and _divkc3 modules. This patch changes libgcc to use long double for the IEEE 128-bit base type if long double is IEEE 128-bit, and it uses _Float128 otherwise. The built-in functions are adjusted to be the correct version based on the IEEE 128-bit base type used. While it is desirable to ultimately have __float128 and _Float128 use the same internal type and mode within GCC, at present if you use the option -mabi=ieeelongdouble, the __float128 type will use the long double type and not the _Float128 type. We get an internal compiler error if we combine the signbitf128 built-in with a long double type. I've gone through several iterations of trying to fix this within GCC, and there are various problems that have come up. I developed this alternative patch that changes libgcc so that it does not tickle the issue. I hope we can fix the compiler at some point, but right now, this is preventing people on Fedora 36 systems from building compilers where the default long double is IEEE 128-bit. 2023-03-06 Michael Meissner <meissner@linux.ibm.com> libgcc/ PR target/107299 * config/rs6000/_divkc3.c (COPYSIGN): Use the correct built-in based on whether long double is IBM or IEEE.
