There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository
gcc: add patch to properly handle 64-bit long double for ppc*-musl
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/11466
Description: Musl requires gcc to be built with 64-bit long doubles as it does not support the quad precision long double format, which is implemented in software using two doubles.
This was already being patched, but it turns out libgcc is forcibly being built with 128-bit long doubles because of several glibc specific APIs it exposes. This wasn't causing any practical runtime issue, but it was causing problems when using e.g. the ld.gold linker to link, because it explicitly checks the ABI tag and libgcc was tagged as 128-bit long double.
This extra patch solves the problem by conditionally compiling libgcc with 64-bit long doubles (only on musl) and disabling the APIs that would have been affected (as they are for glibc only).
