--- Comment #12 from Paul A. Bristow <pbristow at hetp dot u-net.com> ---
This still exists at 4.8.2 and is a *showstopper* for running the Boost.Math
library at all the available precisions, up to 128-bit precision where
available.
typeid(type).name() fails with:
undefined reference to `typeinfo for __float128'
We can check that the library seems to work OK by ugly hacking of error
handling and a few examples of test code (out of the hundreds of tests), but we
absolutely need this before it can be fully tested at 128-bit precision and
released.
Getting this library to pass is part of a demonstration of the proposed C++ and
C library additions by Christopher Kormanyos and John Maddock
Floating-Point Typedefs Having Specified Widths - N3626

Everything is working to provide full C++ 128-bit floating-point - apart from
this :-(
So we are very keen to have a fix.
