>Description:
The pc532 <machine/ieee.h> incorrectly has extended precision
definitions for the ns32k.
According to the ns32381 FPU manual, there are only single-
and double-precision operand formats.
The presence of the extended precision definitions can probably
be explained by the heritage of the pc532 port; parts of it were
modeled after the i386 port, and the i387 does have an extended
precision operand format.
>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection.
>Fix:
Delete the extended precision definitions from the header file.
