    doc: Remove misleading text about multilibs for IEEE long double
    
    The choice of ieee or ibm long double format is orthogonal to multilibs,
    as the two sets of symbols co-exist and don't need a separate multilib.
    
    gcc/ChangeLog:
    
            * doc/install.texi (Configuration): Remove misleading text
            around LE PowerPC Linux multilibs.
