Would mpz_get_ld become acceptable with an appropriate autoconf test for 
ldexpl and a silly loop as a fallback?

Paul, what kind of guarantee would you document for the function? On 
platforms where long double is binary128 (and double is binary64), we 
would need a third round for a chance at maximal precision, and again it 
would be strange to have such a function without full precision...
