Ok.

OS-X does support long double with 128-bit :) At least the newer gcc's. 
The os itself, well another question.

Anyway, my reason for this question is simple, if it is the ABI above 
then I expect that structure passing etc. should behave the same way on 
linux ppc 32-bit and freebsd 32-bit, right?

Hm, if the answer is yes, then I feel that we have some bits missing on 
the fbsd gcc. (I always talk about gcc-head, otherwise I'd reference a 
version)

Ok. I look into the sources then.

Thanks,
Andreas
