LDOUBLE_SIZE is defined to be 16 so you should have 16 bytes for long double 
(twice that of double).

Except these don't seem to be used in tcc's code. It's probably for system 
headers only.

But I just tried compiling a similar testcase as yours and it gives the 
correct sizeof (16). Can you show me the output of the configure script?
