Namely: GCC 4.6 supports REAL*16, including all math intrinsics.

Yes, that possibly. You can simply install it into some directory and directly
call the installed compiler binary (though it is more convenient to put the
"bin" directory into the path). Only for calling the compiled program, you
should make sure that the libraries are found (on Linux/Unix: set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH) - or you link statically or you set an "-Wl,-rpath".
For a quick guide to compiling GCC oneself and to some *unofficial* binaries,
see http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries
My guess is that you are on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x system. RHEL 5 also
contains a technical preview of a newer GCC (which can be installed in
parallel), unfortunately, it only has GCC 4.4 and not 4.6 (or newer).
Otherwise, that would have been alternative.
