If your hardware supports different size of longs (e.g SGI/MIPS), and you
want to use a different word size than the above. You should probably have
specified some exotic compilation flag CFLAG (e.g -o32,-n32).

  if test $doubleformat != "-"; then
cat << EOT
For 32-bit architecture, PARI needs to know the format of your 'double' type.
PARI assumes doubles are stored in IEEE754 format [ (sign, exponent, mantissa
high) on one word, (mantissa low) on another ]; assuming a
  union { double d; ulong l[2]; } x;
are the double exponent and sign stored on x.i[0] (0) or on x.i[1] (1) ?

Using \$CC \$CFLAGS with
  CC    =$CC
  CFLAGS=$CFLAGS
the answer is: $doubleformat.

The internal word representation of a double is $_format.
