• Subject: Patch: Add BID decimal floating point format

The enclosed patch adds configuration support in the GCC compiler to be able to use either the DPD or BID decimal floating point, and is a joint effort between Intel, AMD, and IBM. The original patch is over 400k, which is larger than mailer will accept on gcc.gnu.org, so I have bzip2'ed the patch to make it much smaller.

Note, several of the files in libdecnumber are moved down to libdecnumber/dpd. If you apply this patch, you should use the -E option to delete these files. Within my subversion tree, I have used svn move to move the files.

Are there any objections or comments to patch?
