GDB doesn't really support complex long double.  The entire type
infrastructure for complex types is hokey and special-cases based on
the size of the type; it expects 128-bit long double rather than x86's
96-bit.

Look in dwarf2read.c for the code setting TYPE_TARGET_TYPE if you want
to work around it.
