Done.

Workarounded in CVS now. However, note there are two FIXME's in
fpu_ieee.cpp for USE_QUAD_DOUBLE case. Will have a look tonight but that
won't be tested.

BTW, do you know if MIPS supports native sizeof(long double) == 16 format?  
I believe they usually get emulated in the system C library on other
platforms. Besides, do you have *l() math functions (cosl, asinl, etc.).
Otherwise, I will probably and simply drop support of it and keep only
sizeof(long double) == 12 case which works without troubles, but only 
tested (and available?) on x86.

Thanks,
Gwenole.
