(3) one thing which is unclear for me is what part of real(10/16) is coming
from the system libraries and what part is coming from the gcc ones.
If everything is coming from the gcc libraries (4.3 in my case) and given
the inclusion of gmp/mpfr, I don't understand why there is no real(16) on
x86, but I am certainly missing something relevant.

The inclusion of gmp/mpfr is just on the compiler end, not the runtime library end. Thus, it would make possible to do the constant-folding of real(16) values, but it would not offer anything at all for runtime manipulation of them.
