The problem is a shortcoming of newlib.  Newlib doesn't provide most
"long double" functions, which in turn makes newlib not C99 aware.
This in turn enables the flag _GLIBCXX_HAVE_BROKEN_VSWPRINTF at compile
time of libstdc++ which, unfortunately, disables the entire "to_string"
functionality, even for non-"long double" values.

We're still hoping to get the "long double" functionality into newlib at
one point.
