s390 as well (again, long double can be IEEE double or IEEE quad depending on
options).
sparc too.

In such cases we provide for matters both for __iee128 and __ibm128, and
__float128 is always one of them (see _GLIBCXX_LONG_DOUBLE_ALT128_COMPAT). 
The formatter specialization, that is causing issue, was used only for cases
where:
 * _GLIBCXX_LONG_DOUBLE_ALT128_COMPAT is false,
 * long double is IEEE 128bit (same representation as _Float128)
 * __float128 is different type.
I haven't seen report of any where it would be helpful, however this is second
case where it causing trouble.
