GLPK has double built in.
I expect a global change to long double would
get you most of the way to long double.
Input, output and literal constants would still need fixing.
The values of tolerances could be left the same,
but reducing them would likely be useful.

BTW long double usually has 53- or 64-bit precision, not 106.
I think that gcc has a __float128 type that would do most of what you want.
It does literals, but not formatted IO.
Problem reformulation might be a better choice.
