damn. :-(
Please file a bug report against Debian's gcc-5, gcc-6, gcc-7 and gcc-8
packages if you think that libquadmath must be enabled.
There are usually good reasons for such defaults but sometimes they might
just be a historic artifact and you were the first person to stumble
over it.

Managed a bootstrap that didn't blow up.
At the moment the assembly output from a trivial test shows that the IBM
extended precision long double type is the default unless one actually
asks for the IEEE754-2008 128-bit datatype.

That data is correct.

That is a whole other beast of a different colour.

So the default is the IBM type. No idea on the libquadmath yet.
I should have more info on this issue in another 16 or 20 hours.
