mac68k-new-toolchain has a similiar problem building "lint1", except
that the missing symbols are for extended double precision conversions,
rather than quad conversions (__fixunsxfdi, __floatdixf, __fixxfdi).
This breaks the tools build. Curiously enough, a 1.5.1/i386 hosted
build only calls on __fixunsxfdi, which it finds it in it's own libc
fine (though I sure don't see where it's coming from).

There's code already in libc/softfloat/softfloat.c for the last two
conversions, int64_to_floatx80() and
floatx80_to_int64_round_to_zero(), they're just not respected by
"softloat-for-gcc.h".
