Comment (by Tony Reix <tony.reix@…>):

 Discussion is continuing by exchanging emails.

 IBM implements "long double" as 2 doubles (128 bits).
 It seems that Boost does not (or not entirely) manage this case.

 John and I are working together to determine how to have "long double"
 correctly managed on Linux On Power.
