+One option for long doubles is that gcc 4.6 and later have a library
 called quadmath, which implements the IEEE 754 quadruple precision
 (128-bit, 113 bits of mantissa) floating point numbers.  The library
 works at least on x86 and ia64 platforms.  It may be part of your gcc
 installation, or you may need to install it separately.
 
-With "Configure -Dusequadmath" you can enable its use, but note the
-compiler dependency, you may need to also add "-Dcc=..."  This option
-also turns on -Duselongdouble.  At C level the type is called C<__float128>,
-(note, not "long double") but Perl source knows it as NV.
