To give context, it was this patch you were asking about:

2018-06-20  Michael Meissner  <meiss...@linux.ibm.com>

        * gcc.target/powerpc/float128-3.c: Change tests that test for
        errors in enabling/disable IEEE 128-bit floating point use the
        -mabi=ibmlongdouble to force long double to be IBM extended.
        * gcc.target/powerpc/float128-5.c: Likewise.
        * gcc.target/powerpc/float128-mix.c: Likewise.

float128-3.c and float128-5.c both issues no error (because they both test if
__FLOAT128__ defined even if you use the -mno-float128 option), instead of the
two errors that the test checks for.

float128-mix.c also issues no error because with -mabi=ieeelongdouble, it is
legal to allow __float128 and long double to be combined.
