No idear, my guess was that it has something to do with the __asm usages 
in <format> and with the commnt:

   // These overloads exist in the library, but are not declared for C++20.
   // Make them available as std::__format::to_chars.

Maybe they exist in the library but are unused so not exported unless 
specified in the linker script ?

I tried and as expected it's not working because the diff in the symbol 
is not limited to the '3__8' pattern. 'chars_format' is also defined in 
versioned namespace which might perhaps explain some mangling diff.

Here is an updated patch though, I had forgotten to replace a _DF128 
with a __ieee128 in the untested part of this patch.

If you prefer to take a closer look later I'll just re-submit my patch 
to move versioned namespace mode to cxx11 abi knowing that those tests 
are already FAIL.
