bit in a long double. For architectures that don't have such a bit, LDBL_NBIT is 0. This makes it possible to say `mantissa & ~LDBL_NBIT' in places that previously used an #ifdef to select the right expression. The optimizer should dispense with the extra arithmetic when LDBL_NBIT is 0 anyway. - Add an XXX comment for the big endian case.
