libdecnumber is a build library which is used by compiler internaly
to support DFP. configure.ac in libdecnumber has
case $target in
powerpc*-*-linux* | i?86*-*-linux* | x86_64*-*-linux*)
enable_decimal_float=yes
;;
*)
enable_decimal_float=no
;;
esac
...
case $target in
i?86*-*-linux* | x86_64*-*-linux*)
enable_decimal_float=bid
;;
*)
enable_decimal_float=dpd
;;
esac
When gcc is configured as i686-linux or x86_64-linux, the target won't
match "i?86*-*-linux* | x86_64*-*-linux*". As the result, libdecnumber
will be wrongly configured to use DPD by default. A patch is posted at
