This is very silly of course, both of these are 16 bytes.  Abusing this
to see if the types exist is at least as silly (there are much better
mechanisms to do this).

So, this facilitates bad habits and bad code.  But, whatever, the macros
are just stating totally obvious and redundant facts, no problem, let's
just ignore that pepople only want it to abuse it.

No.  __SIZEOF_IBM128__ should be defined if and only if __ibm128 is
defined.

This should be tested directly, it should not depend on that some other
code did what it does today.  That would also make the code much more
obvious.
