I have no problems with that. I can put it under libgcc/config/libbid

Is the Intel library our only way to deal with BID numbers, or is it
an optimized implementation of functionality also available in
libdecnumber?  I'm planning to share libdecnumber with GDB; I want to
know if we'll need libbid too.

I'd say you don't given 1) the existence of libdecnumber/bid and, 2) the fact that this BID thing is not used by the compiler proper but only in libgcc.
