No. tim_one changed it to be long double in r25454 to support some
system that Dave Abrahams uses, so it needs to stay that way :-)
However, we can certainly acknowledge that this is a bug in MingW,
and special case it. Either introduce a symbolic type gchead_align_t
which gets defined to just double on MingW, or put the #ifdef right
into the structure.
No this is not GCC bug. GCC support "hardware extended precision" as
implement long double and mingw w32api implement long double functions.
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9cx8xs15.aspx it is
MSVC limitation.
It might also be useful to assert that sizeof(gchead_align_t) is
8 or 16, and reject 12 as a value. The point is that we need the
maximum alignment, and that certainly shouldn't be 12.
So look like python bug.
