Folks, Over at h5py we are trying to get a release out and have discovered (via debian) that on ppc64el there is an apparent disagreement between the size of a native long double according to hdf5 and numpy.
For all of the gorey details see: https://github.com/h5py/h5py/issues/817 . In short, `np.longdouble` seems to be `np.float128` and according to the docs should map to the native 'long double'. However, hdf5 provides a `H5T_NATIVE_LDOUBLE` which should also refer to the native 'long double', but seems to be a 64 bit float. Anyone on this list have a ppc64el machine (or experience with) that can provide some guidance here? Tom
