I see the situation.

In gnulib, to detect "double double" situation, it checks:

	LDBL_MANT_DIG == 106

I wonder if it works better than use of LDBL_IS_IEC_60559 macro.

When we use the macro LDBL_IS_IEC_60559 (new for C23), if there is an
environment (of PowerPC 64 architecture) where LDBL_IS_IEC_60559 is not
defined (say, compiler is older) but actually uses standard floating
point, I'm afraid it skips the test.
