Yeah it seems so. While Thomas' numbers weren't convincing the
CONFIG_INT128 fallback did trigger on my SynQuacer an knocked off about
2 MFlops of it's admittedly slow performance. Amusingly of course it's
faster under translation because of the hardware fall back:

07:44:44 address@hidden:~/l/q/t/fp] (8973c1e5…) + ./fp-bench -o div -p double
13.28 MFlops
07:44:49 address@hidden:~/l/q/t/fp] (8973c1e5…) + ./fp-bench -o div -p double 
-t host
498.20 MFlops
07:44:53 address@hidden:~/l/q/t/fp] (8973c1e5…) + 
../../aarch64-linux-user/qemu-aarch64  ./fp-bench -o div -p double -t host
52.71 MFlops

I'll drop this and use Thomas' #elif defined(__s390x__) &&
!defined(__clang__) version in the pull-request.
