A Google search for 'gdtoa' quickly reveals that it is part of
the netlib package, and more specifically, from
http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/fp/

  file: gdtoa.tgz
 =20
     for: generalization of dtoa.c to other IEEE and IEEE-like
     precisions (float, extended, quad) and "double double".
     Rounding directions may be specified; decimal -> interval
     is an alternative.

G'luck,
Peter
