 Replying to [comment:60 dimpase]:

 Of course not (nor 387), but some IBM-specific double-double type.

 > OK, so perhaps there is a miracle compiler switch on PPC that will do
 the same trick.

 {{{
        -fdefault-double-8
            Set the "DOUBLE PRECISION" type to an 8 byte wide type.  If
 -fdefault-real-8 is given, "DOUBLE PRECISION" would instead be promoted to
 16 bytes
            if possible, and -fdefault-double-8 can be used to prevent
 this.  The kind of real constants like "1.d0" will not be changed by
 -fdefault-real-8
            though, so also -fdefault-double-8 does not affect it.
 }}}
