This issue hasn't come up yet. In gfc_arith_ini

In case i370 support is revived or a format not using base==2 is

When GCC uses MPFR in the middle-end, it sets the precision of the MPFR
variables used for intermediate calculations to the "p" field of the
target float format. We need the precision of the MPFR variables to be
exactly the same number of bits as the target float format so we can
determine when th
