Their long double only has 96 value bits but its size is 16 (8 bit)
bytes, so it's 128 bits in size. And there's no requirement in C99 to
support 128 bit long doubles, so even if they did want to support long
double with 128 value bits sometime in the future, it wouldn't be a
conformance issue now. I can only assume that their long double support
is deficient in some way, but their conformance statement certainly
doesn't provide any hints as to exactly what the deficiencies are.
