I have looked into this issue too, and the limitation of
MathLib to just floats was the main thing that for now
keeps me from supporting long double in my application.
(The other thing is that although double precision is
nice, I'm not sure anyone really needs it.)
If anyone else is interested, I'd be willing to help
develop a new freely-available (Open Source) math library
that supports the long double data type. Hopefully if
we have a number of developers working together on it,
it will not be really difficult or take a lot of time.
I was thinking I'd just do it myself, using MathLib as
an example, but it seems to be developed under CodeWarrior,
and I am using PODS. It is also a little complicated to
work with the FSF's code.
