gcc provides int128 for 64-bit builds (but not for 32-bit builds). Look
at our mpz_int128.h which mimics GMP but actually uses saturated 128-bit
integer (the latter is a lot faster - but GMP can go way beyond 128 bits).
They are emulated though, probably similar to using hi/lo 64-bit structs.
One caveat is you can't have constants larger than 64-bit. So to load a
128-bit constant you'd need to do something like this
uint128_t foo = 0xabcd0123deadcafeULL << 64 + 0xdeadcafeabcd0123ULL
