The IEEE-128 (__float128 / KFmode) soft-float support functions in libgcc are only built when libgcc_cv_powerpc_float128 is set, and the ISA-2.06 configure check that sets it only runs for powerpc*-*-linux*. On powerpc64le-*-freebsd*, where long double is IEEE binary128, they are needed just as much (libgfortran and any long-double code references e.g. __addkf3, __eqkf2), so run the check there too. Also require __ibm128 in the test, not just VSX: the t-float128 sources the check enables include quad-float128.h, which uses __ibm128. That type is only available when the target has 128-bit long double, so on a target/multilib where long double is 64-bit (e.g. a pre-IEEE FreeBSD release) the VSX-only test would pass but the build would then fail with "unknown type name '__ibm128'". Requiring __ibm128 makes the check reflect what the sources need; it is a no-op on glibc, which always has 128-bit long double on these configurations. libgcc/ChangeLog: * configure.ac (powerpc*-*-freebsd*): Run the PowerPC ISA 2.06 __float128 check. Require __ibm128 in the test. * configure: Regenerate.
