Hi,

the macro is documented like this in the internal manual:

 -- Macro: WIDEST_HARDWARE_FP_SIZE
     A C expression for the size in bits of the widest floating-point
     format supported by the hardware.  If you define this macro, you
     must specify a value less than or equal to mode precision of the
     mode used for C type 'long double' (from hook
     'targetm.c.mode_for_floating_type' with argument
     'TI_LONG_DOUBLE_TYPE').  If you do not define this macro, mode
     precision of the mode used for C type 'long double' is the default.

AArch64 uses 128-bit TFmode for long double but, as far as I know, no FPU 
implemented in hardware supports it.

WIDEST_HARDWARE_FP_SIZE is taken into account in exactly two places:
  - in libgcc for the implementation of float[uns]ti{sd}f,
  - in the Ada front-end to cap the size clauses of floating-point types.

The effect of the change on the first place can be seen by running nm on 
libgcc/_floatdisf.o (which implements floattisf for Aarch64), from:
                 U __addtf3
                 U __floatditf
0000000000000000 T __floattisf
                 U __floatunditf
                 U __multf3
                 U __trunctfsf2
to just
0000000000000000 T __floattisf

The effect of the change on the second place can be seen on the attached Ada 
testcase, which fails without it and passes with it.

Bootstrapped/regtested on Aarch64/Linux, OK for the mainline?
