Thanks for picking this up! I'm getting somewhat strange results here, on an Intel [i7-1370P](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/232146/intel-core-i71370p-processor-24m-cache-up-to-5-20-ghz/specifications.html), that has 6 Performance cores (*2 with Hyperthreading) and 8 Efficient cores. Basically no improvement...

`od -t fL` uses whatever `long double` is on a given platform, that is 80-bit on x86(-64). Taking some of the examples from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_precision): ``` $ printf $(printf "0000 0000...

Can you also look into fixing the GNU test? I guess it suddenly enabled itself now that you support _some_ of the feature: ``` Error: GNU test failed: tests/mv/mv-exchange. tests/mv/mv-exchange...

Yeah, I'm slowly starting to hack away at `seq`: https://github.com/drinkcat/coreutils/commits/parse-bigdecimal-seq if you're curious... But if you wanted to fix it in the current implementation, and add a test for it,...

Nah, we're just colliding with ourselves: ``` The lib target `libstdbuf` in package `uu_stdbuf_libstdbuf v0.0.30 (/home/drinkcat/dev/coreutils/coreutils/src/uu/stdbuf/src/libstdbuf)` has the same output filename as the lib target `libstdbuf` in package `uu_stdbuf_libstdbuf v0.0.30...

@jadijadi looking at this a bit more... I feel like this would be better fixed in `chrono`, not here (I was looking at #7504 and couldn't really fully grasp why...

Argh, maybe I'm wrong, I think we still need some custom logic to handle timezone passed in `TZ` (i.e. to be able to read the abbreviation from the timezone database)....
