  No, but if C++ libraries  are acceptable to you: there are
projects  implementing some  linear algebra  on customisable
number types.  Today I recall only this:

             <http://mplapack.sourceforge.net/>

  I closed the project because nobody was interested in it.

  It is really much work (at least for a single person) even
if you have multiple-precision linear algebra routines.
