Hi!
For IEEE quad long double with BITS_PER_MP_LIMB 32, mantissa takes exactly
4 limbs. Until now any mantissa took at most 2 limbs (either IEEE extended
long double on 32-bit arch or IEEE quad on 64-bit arch) and bignum_size
reserved at least twice as many limbs for extra operations (e.g. it
does frac[fracsize++] = cy; in certain cases etc.).
Without this printf with certain numbers results in buffer overflows.

* stdio-common/printf_fp.c (__printf_fp): For IEEE quad long double
on 32-bit architectures reserve 8 limbs instead of 4.
