On sparc, the --with-long-double-128 option doesn't change anything for a 64-bit compiler, as it always default to 128-bit long doubles. For a 32/64-bit compiler defaulting to 32-bit this correctly control the size of long double of the 32-bit compiler, however for a 32/64-bit compiler defaulting to 64-bit, the built-in specs force the -mlong-double-64 option. This makes the option useless in this case.
The patch below fixes that by removing the -mlong-double-64 from the built-in spec, using the default instead. Changelog gcc/ 2013-12-04 Aurelien Jarno <aurel...@aurel32.net> * config/sparc/linux64.h (CC1_SPEC): When defaulting to 64-bit, don't force -mlong-double-64 when -m32 or -mv8plus is given.
