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.
