So I tried that, but mpfr_gamma on that value sets the global underflow
flag.  If overflow/underflow are set by mpfr, GCC will intentionally
bypass folding.  So this particular case is not something I can use.

I don't know if this mpfr case should be setting the underflow flag or if
it's a bug.  Calling the glibc tgamma doesn't seem to think it underflowed
when looking at fetestexcept().
