i use the following checks in all long double code now
LDBL_MANT_DIG == 53 && LDBL_MAX_EXP == 1024
LDBL_MANT_DIG == 64 && LDBL_MAX_EXP == 16384
LDBL_MANT_DIG == 113 && LDBL_MAX_EXP == 16384

the inplace union declarations for bit hacks are not ok
anymore because endianness is not checked

the union declarations should go to an arch specific .h
eg. arch/i386/longdouble.h

but before that long double bit hacks may need some
cleanups (freebsd union vs openbsd macros vs ..)
