I realized that my change was not good.  It only cares about 64-bit
machine (reported in July), but it is also relevant to 32-bit machine
(as you reported).

I pushed another commit to cover powerpc (32-bit):

	747eb8798bed752ede9b4cec03507e64bf6a497a

(Well, we could only test by LDBL_MANT_DIG == 106.  But I don't want to
encourage such a situation for an architecture in the future.  We will
need to change again when such a situation will occur.)
