Thanks for the note!
I'm actually currently working on gcc-4.8 for powerpcspe. gcc-4.7 and
gcc-4.8 on powerpcspe build well, except they both don't have
"--with-long-double-128" activated currently (in contrast to the current
default gcc-4.6 and on powerpc).
--with-long-double-128 can be activated on gcc-4.7 right away. I'm
filing a wishlist bug for this.
For gcc-4.8, I'm still looking for a solution.
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57386
I'm proposing to have gcc-4.7 as default for now with activated
--with-long-double-128.
As soon as GCC's #57386 is solved, gcc-4.8 can be used without problems.
