Hi, Currently in Guix, we explicitly specify --with-long-double-128 on powerpc64le-linux (and potentially other powerpc64-* systems) in two places. It turns out that this is not necessary. This patch simplifies our code. I originally authored this in order to try fixing bug 47698, but it didn't solve that problem, and it turns out the --with-long-double-128 option is probably unrelated to that bug. However, it's still worth making this change to simplify our code. If nobody has any issues with this, then in 2 weeks I will commit it. One question is: where should I commit it? I'd like to commit it to master, but it causes many rebuilds on powerpc64le-linux (it does not cause rebuilds on any other platforms), so per the guidelines ((guix) Submitting Patches) I ought to commit it to core-updates. However, because the glibc upgrade from 2.31 to 2.32 on core-updates causes many problems for powerpc64le-linux, core-updates has never once been a viable branch for powerpc64le-linux in the time since support was first added on master. So if I commit this patch to core-updates, it won't really do anyone any good right now. With all this in mind, I think master is the right place to commit this patch. -- Chris
