The old converting routine can be linked in by default, and the new,
bigger, slower and more precise one can be placed into libm.

The old routine will be linked anyway, since the new one will be only
called for '%Le' (probably it could be modified to support other
formats, but it is for long doubles only).

I could adapt the code for djgpp in such a way.
