Size of float_t

I need to interface with an C lib that uses float_t and double_t.
Druntime provides aliases for these in core.stdc.math but it aliases
then to float and double respectively.
Now on 64-bits Linux (Arch) this work without any problems, but on a
32-bits copy of ArchLinux both float_t and double_t are defined as long
double.
This can be observed by running the following C code on both systems:
```
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
printf("%i ", sizeof(float_t));
printf("%i ", sizeof(float));
printf("%i ", sizeof(double_t));
printf("%i \n", sizeof(double));
}
```
Prints 4 4 8 8 on 64-bits ArchLinux.
And 12 4 12 8 on 32-bits ArchLinux.
Does anybody know if float_t and double_t being long doubles is common
among 32-bits Linux distros, or if it may depend on the compiler
version, processor type or something else?
