I like the "on such targets", however, I think one should mention Fortran there; for instance: "The library is used to provide the <code>REAL(16)</code> type in GNU Fortran on such targets." I think without mentioning Fortran, not only half of the message is lost but it also looks redundant and talking about "REAL(16)" might be unclear to non-Fortran users. I have now committed gcc-4.6/changes.html with your proposed changes and index.html with your changes - except for the added "in GNU Fortran". Tobias
