Some embedded and embedded-like subtargets use 64-bit long double by
default.  You can also configure this on any Power target (not that it
will necessarily work ;-) )

I don't know if any subtarget with default 64-bit long double supports
Fortran.

Absolutely.  Modes are not types, and types are not modes.  There are
128-bit floating point modes that are not IEEE, there are that are, and
either can be used for long double, or neither.
