In the patch that I applied on March 2nd, I had code to provide support for
Decimal/_Float128 conversions if the user did not use at least GLIBC 2.32. It
did this by using __ibm128 as an intermediate type. The trouble is __ibm128
cannot represent all of the numbers that _Float128 can, and you lose if you do
this conversion.
This patch removes this support. The dfp-bit.c functions now call the the
__sprintfieee128 and __strtoieee128 functions to do the conversion. If the
user does not have GLIBC, they will get a linker error that these functions do
not exist.
The float128 support functions are only built into the static libgcc, so there
isn't an issue with having references to __strtoieee128 and __sprintfieee128
with older GLIBC libraries.
As an added bonus, this patch eliminates the __sprintfkf function which
included stdio.h to get a definition for the sprintf library function. This
allows for building cross compilers without having to have a target stdio.h
available.
