Yes, this definition of _LDBL_EQ_DBL is wrong, since it depends on the 
multilib. For example we have in the GCC build tree:

grep _LDBL_EQ_DBL `find -name newlib.h`
./m68k-rtems4.12/m68040/softfp/newlib/newlib.h:/* #undef _LDBL_EQ_DBL */
./m68k-rtems4.12/m68040/newlib/newlib.h:/* #undef _LDBL_EQ_DBL */
./m68k-rtems4.12/m5208/newlib/newlib.h:#define _LDBL_EQ_DBL 1
./m68k-rtems4.12/m5329/newlib/newlib.h:#define _LDBL_EQ_DBL 1
./m68k-rtems4.12/m5206/newlib/newlib.h:#define _LDBL_EQ_DBL 1
./m68k-rtems4.12/m5407/newlib/newlib.h:#define _LDBL_EQ_DBL 1
./m68k-rtems4.12/softfp/newlib/newlib.h:/* #undef _LDBL_EQ_DBL */
./m68k-rtems4.12/m68000/newlib/targ-include/newlib.h:/* #undef 
_LDBL_EQ_DBL */
./m68k-rtems4.12/m68000/newlib/newlib.h:/* #undef _LDBL_EQ_DBL */
./m68k-rtems4.12/newlib/targ-include/newlib.h:/* #undef _LDBL_EQ_DBL */
./m68k-rtems4.12/newlib/newlib.h:/* #undef _LDBL_EQ_DBL */
./m68k-rtems4.12/m5475/softfp/newlib/newlib.h:#define _LDBL_EQ_DBL 1
./m68k-rtems4.12/m5475/newlib/newlib.h:#define _LDBL_EQ_DBL 1
./m68k-rtems4.12/m68060/softfp/newlib/newlib.h:/* #undef _LDBL_EQ_DBL */
./m68k-rtems4.12/m68060/newlib/newlib.h:/* #undef _LDBL_EQ_DBL */
./m68k-rtems4.12/mcpu32/newlib/newlib.h:/* #undef _LDBL_EQ_DBL */
./m68k-rtems4.12/m5307/newlib/newlib.h:#define _LDBL_EQ_DBL 1

In the installation tree:

grep _LDBL_EQ_DBL `find -name newlib.h`
./m68k-rtems4.12/include/newlib.h:/* #undef _LDBL_EQ_DBL */

So, only one random newlib.h is copied to the installation tree, 
therefore all newlib.h of the build tree must be identical.

I would move the _LDBL_EQ_DBL definition to <ieeefp.h> based on compiler 
provided defines.
