Is there any RTAI library for arbitrary precision arithmetic?

I guess it is pretty simple from user-space, if you do not use any
function doing dynamic allocation from real-time context. If you plan to
use GMP from kernel-space, you will certainly have to modify it, but it
is probably less work than rewriting a library. Also note that if you
plan to run computation intensive tasks, the overhead of user-space
may be negligible.
