Quoting Wikipedia:
"With the GNU C Compiler, long double is 80-bit extended precision on x86 processors regardless of the physical storage used for the type (which can be either 96 or 128 bits) ... As of gcc 4.3, a quadruple precision is also supported on x86, but as the nonstandard type __float128 rather than long double."
