c++ long-double value can't increment for large values

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We are porting an application to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and have encountered a problem where long-double variables are not able to increment for large values (eg. 1268035319515045691392). A quad-precision data type is needed in this situation.
