David asked me to try and break patch #7 into smaller bite sized chunks. I have broken this into roughly 16 parts. These are the same patches that I submitted for patch #7 (revised), just broken up. There is one additional patch in this selection, to restrict __float128 and IBM extended double from being combined in an expression.
I have done bootstraps with no regressions on both a little endian power8 system and a big endian power7 system. -- Michael Meissner, IBM IBM, M/S 2506R, 550 King Street, Littleton, MA 01460-6245, USA email: meiss...@linux.vnet.ibm.com, phone: +1 (978) 899-4797
