of course if you are writing your own os you can do all sorts of things,
but toolchains will follow the pcs abi in general which says that
long double == ieee binary128
e.g. gcc does not have a config option to turn long double type into
binary64 on aarch64. so you would have to maintain your own gcc fork.
