you are missing gcc's 32-bit dependencies

Yes - and I'm not really interested in building such a perl if I need additional downloads to do it.

I've implemented USE_QUADMATH capability on Windows. There's nothing public yet, but I should be in a position to submit a PR in the next couple of days.
I've been testing all of the various nvtype/ivtype permutations with 32-bit and 64-bit compilers, and they're all fine .... except for one.
On Windows, with a 32-bit gcc, I can build blead with ivsize=4 and nvtype=__float128 - and it's failing a few Math::BigInt/BigFloat tests.
There's no problem with any of the other available nvtype/ivtype permutations - it's just this one (very rare) configuration that's being a bit of a nuisance.

I suspect it's a Math::BigInt/BigFloat bug, but it could also be a bug in my amendments to the perl source.
For reference, it would be nice to see how a __float128 build with an ivsize of 4, fares on Ubuntu.
The 2 systems I have that do permit the -m32 switch don't provide libquadmath.

Cheers,
Rob

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
