It could be done with mpfr, but note that at the moment gfortran will provide either REAL(10) or REAL(16). This has to do with mapping Fortran types to equivalent C long double. If you really want to get interesting, GCC has libdecnumber. We could offer a base 10 REAL(X) where X is 42. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32049
