>Description:
	The pc532 <machine/ieee.h> incorrectly has extended precision
	definitions for the ns32k.

	According to the ns32381 FPU manual, there are only single-
	and double-precision operand formats.

	The presence of the extended precision definitions can probably
	be explained by the heritage of the pc532 port; parts of it were
	modeled after the i386 port, and the i387 does have an extended
	precision operand format.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Code inspection.

>Fix:
	Delete the extended precision definitions from the header file.
