gcc doesn't include a math library.  It is just the compiler, not the C
library.  In the case of MinGW the C library is MSVCRT.DLL.  And yes,
MSVCRT support for long double is incomplete, however it is somewhat
augmented by libmingwex which provides some missing long double support.

If you mean the C library used with linux, then you want to look at
glibc not gcc.  But I'm not sure how that will help you when using
MinGW.
