Sorry but I do not fully understand what exactly I shall test.
I have run the code snippet below on linux and using djgpp.
I think when the additions are passed as arguments to printf
the "signed " NaN is read.  Both give the same result like below:

NaN + NaN = -nan   NaN + NaN = -nan   NaN + v = -nan
NaN + NaN = +nan   NaN + NaN = nan   NaN + v = nan

#include <stdio.h>


typedef struct {
   unsigned mantissal:32;
   unsigned mantissah:32;
   unsigned exponent:15;
   unsigned sign:1;
} long_double_t;

typedef union
{
   long double ld;
   long_double_t ldt;
} _longdouble_union_t;


int main(void)
{
   long double v = 1.2345;
   _longdouble_union_t nan;


   nan.ldt.mantissal = 0x00000001U;
   nan.ldt.mantissah = 0xC0000000U;
   nan.ldt.exponent  = 0x7FFFU;


   nan.ldt.sign      = 1;
   printf("NaN + NaN = %+Lg   NaN + NaN = %-Lg   NaN + v = %Lg\n", 
nan.ld + nan.ld, nan.ld + nan.ld, nan.ld + v);

   nan.ldt.sign      = 0;
   printf("NaN + NaN = %+Lg   NaN + NaN = %-Lg   NaN + v = %Lg\n", 
nan.ld + nan.ld, nan.ld + nan.ld, nan.ld + v);

   return 0;
}
