what is the long double on your platform? i assume it's 128bit
gcc -dM -E - </dev/null |grep LDBL_

the problem is that various functions use the signbit macro
from math.h
it gets the sign bit with bithacks for float and double and
calls __signbitl for long double
but the __signbitl call should only be generated by the compiler
if sizeof(long double) != sizeof(double)
in that case we only support the 80bit long double of x86
(powerpc long double can be 64bit, 128bit ieee or 128bit ibm
and we only support 64bit at this point, the others are
soft-float emulations anyway so not very useful, but that's
the standard abi so many toolchains use that..)

it might make sense to add these so code will
"happen to work" if it does not use long double
(note that printf uses long double internally
to print floats but it may even work with
float and doubles but it will definitly fail to
print long doubles)
