 For GMP, it's desirable to fix also the non IEEE-version.

That would have some value, I suppose, although non-IEEE formats of
course have become largely obsolete.

This code is mostly used not for non-IEEE formats, but for cases where we fail to detect that it *is* IEEE. For instance when compiling to bitcode (gcc LTO, LLVM, webassembly, etc). Of course, better IEEE detection would help those more than fixing the fallback path.
