Actually, it's the compiler supporting it, not avr-libc.  It supports
integer calculations up to 64 bits, and floating-point calculations
using IEEE 754 32-bit numbers.  There's a support library (that
technically belongs to the compiler, rather to avr-libc) for some
operations, and as some parts of it are auto-generated, it's known to
not be very effective for 32-bit and 64-bit integer operations, but
it's fully working nevertheless.
