for serious usage that's the right thing to do
but it may be overkill to require a complete toolchain
when someone just wants to try out musl

i was thinking that it should be possible to support the
case when the powerpc toolchain is double-double but the
user guarantees that no long double arithmetics is used
(ie we only need to fix the internal long double usage so
double inputs are handled correctly)
although it's probably easier to just add -mlong-double=64
during the musl build
the unsupported format can be detected in the configure
script (the user will have to use -mlong-double=64
consistently then though, but we can add it to the musl-gcc
wrapper as well)
