The general solution is to track down a newer version of the mprec
code and import it.  There is a version of mprec out there somewhere
which dynamically sizes its internal buffers -- that is what we need.

I checked in something like this not too long ago.

        Workaround for PR classpath/23863:
        * native/fdlibm/mprec.h (MAX_BIGNUM_WDS): Define as 128 on
        non-Pack_32 platforms.

See this PR (or maybe there is some other mprec PR too, I forget) for
more info.
