fyi; from

https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran/News

it says:

"GCC now ships with the LGPL-licensed libquadmath library,
which provides for targets with a __float128 datatype
quad-precision mathematical functions. __float128 is
available for targets on 32-bit x86, x86-64 and
Itanium architectures. The libquadmath library is
automatically build on such targets when building the Fortran compiler."

So, I guess the summary of all this is: gfortran supports
this library now directly, but to use it in Ada, more work would
be needed by the user to interface to it (may be gnat needs
also to also add support to allow user code to access this library
as well).
