I noticed another long double issue.  Long double is defined to be 128
bits on all 64-bit targets on the PA.  I believe that it should be 128 bits
only on hpux.

I would like to change the long double default on PA64t o 64 bits as there
isn't any hardware support for the 128-bit type, and we currently don't
have software support for 128-bit long doubles implemented.  I can't see
this affecting anything, but it's another ABI change and I thought I should
ask.
