I'm happy to be corrected. In this case it's immaterial if it is a
Fortran standard or not. It is what our present gcc from ports has given us.

Correct. This blog entry I read some months ago outlines this
exact problem we are having and suggests the identical solution.

quadmath does have an impact on performance.

Yes. I have also suggested we use a wrapper to the ports guys.
