There are two orthogonal issues. We can discuss adding support for
__float128 on architectures where that is != long double - or try to
disable the type in gcc.

But the library better have a very good reason to use such a stupid,
obviously non portable feature. This should be checked and (as it probably
is not reasonable) be reported upstream.
