this is bad, it is 'double-double' long double format
which means broken long double arithmetics

if you want to play with static linking then it's better
not to use soft-float long double, that ruins it a lot
(every trivial program will get an entire floating point
emulation library linked in from libgcc pulled in by printf
so the students will get the impression that static linking
always gives bloated binaries..)
the correct thing to do is to build a toolchain with 64bit
long double

linux did not drop it, but for some reason the glibc and
binutils maintainers thought that dynamic linking is always
better so it's enough to support that
