Comment(by anonymous):

 I don't know. I guess if you can run some kind of command for this, maybe
 try running "cc -c has_long_double_support.cpp" and test for existence of
 has_long_double_support.o?

 Unfortunately that wouldn't work: we couldn't be sure that the compiler we
 are *actually* building with was the one in the path.  We might also be
 building with more than one compiler :-(

 We could the output from uname and that's probably about it...

 John.
