See bug 24581. Some aspects are a bug (GCC doesn't handle mixed
real/complex arithmetic the way it should), some are the lack of imaginary
types (though the only use of imaginary types I know of is this one for
building up constants, and no-one on the Power ABI working group could
find any implementation for Power Architecture that actually supports
imaginary types).
Thanks for the PR pointer. I'm going to ask the obvious question, if
there's an obvious answer please excuse me. :-)
Would it be sufficient and correct to treat (0.0 + I) * y as a special case
for MULT_EXPR and just swap the real and imaginary parts of "y" in the
result?
