I really like it if code is being removed :-).

Hmm, this HEX_LONG_DOUBLE_INPUT seems like a useful feature, but it
doesn't work, including in GDB 4.18. Did it ever work?
I removed the macro.
I think such a feature is in HJ's version Linux-only version of gdb
4.17. The implementation there is a bit kludgey, and AFAIK never
submitted as an isolated feature. Moreover I don't see why this
should be i386 and/or Linux only. Probably a wish-list item.
