Ok, I see. Thanks for the comment.
Still, since we internally already have both implementations for
kind=4 and kind=8, we could as well make use of them, I guess.
If not, we definitely need to fix the documentation of LTIME, since
the current version simply does not work with TIME8(), unless one uses
-fdefault-integer-8 (which is not mentioned in the docu).
Cheers,
