 * On ia64, powerpc64le, x86-32, and x86-64, the math library now implements
-  128-bit floating point as defined by IEEE 60559:2011 and ISO/IEC TS
-  18661-3:2015.  Support for more architectures will be added in future
-  releases.  Contributed by Paul E. Murphy, Gabriel F. T. Gomes, and Tulio
-  Magno Quites Machado Filho.
+  128-bit floating point as defined by ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559:2011 (IEEE
+  754-2008) and ISO/IEC TS 18661-3:2015.  Contributed by Paul E. Murphy,

+  128-bit floating point with the type name _Float128 (as defined by TS
+  18661-3) or __float128 (the nonstandard name used by GCC for C++, and for
+  C prior to version 7).  _GNU_SOURCE or __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_TYPES_EXT__
+  must be defined to make the new interfaces visible.
+
+  The new functions and macros correspond to those present for other
+  floating-point types (except for a few obsolescent interfaces not
+  supported for the new type), with F128 or f128 suffixes; for example,
+  strtof128, HUGE_VAL_F128 and cosf128.  Following TS 18661-3, there are no
+  printf or scanf formats for the new type; the strfromf128 and strtof128
+  interfaces should be used instead.
