   to be done when converting target numbers to and from the hosts DOUBLEST

   necessarily any longer than `double'.  On SunOS/gcc, it's the same as
   double.)  This is necessary because GDB internally converts all floating
   point values to the widest type supported by the host.

   There are problems however, when the target `long double' is longer than the
   host's `long double'.  In general, we'll probably reduce the precision of
   any such values and print a warning.  */
