I think it's a reasonable thing to do. (Of course, if you do this, you
also have to change the demangler.)
You could implement it with the mangle_fundamental_type target hook.
However, if this is going to be common practice on lots of platforms, it
might make sense to modify write_builtin_type to do something like:
if (type == long_double_type_node)
write_char (targetm.mangle_fundamental_type (type));
Then, make a default version of that hook that mangles to 'e', and, for
your targets, mangle to 'g'. Make all current versions of the hook
tail-call the default hook for cases they do not handle. Remove the
conditional in write_builtin_type checking to see if the hook is
non-NULL, since now it will always be non-NULL.
I'm not sure which is better; what do you think?

Right.

Yes.
