Now I also can enable the "-mlong-double-128" flag which appears to give me
quad precision, but that produces binaries with undefined symbols on my

I'm not certain, but I think you need to use the -mno-xl-compat option.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, -mno-xl-compat still produces the
_q_mul symbols.

I've found another thread where a user was able to express long double
as two doubles (__LBL_MANT_DIG__106) on PowerPC-linux:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2011-05/msg00200.html. I'm not sure why
I'm not able to do the same (is it VxWorks specific?). Ultimately, I
need higher precision for one of our robotic algorithms.
Thanks,
Ira
