The compiler itself has three such libraries embedded within it. :)
Depending on how you define things.
 
The front end cm3 does at least 64 bit integer math via 16 bit integers.
cm3cg uses gmp and mpfr.
The goals are probably the same for all three -- evaluate constant expressions correctly for the target.
