Relevant to this question, Mike Meissner is hoping to backport a series
of patches to add support for IEEE-128 floating-point in the next few
days.  After that we should be done adding things, because GCC has
entered stage 4 and we won't be able to create any more patches to
backport.  So please advise about the best way to handle Peter's patch
and Mike's upcoming ones.  Thanks!

Title:
  [Ubuntu 16.04] Enable P9 toolchain

Status in gcc-5 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is a feature request to track the inclusion of POWER9 enabled in
  Ubuntu.

  This is required as a building block for POWER9 development in Ubuntu
  16.04. The final goal is to have Ubuntu 17.04 as the primary distro to
  (partially?) support POWER9 machines.

  Mirroring for Canonical awareness. A backport will be required.
