No. The OSU server's code doesn't use long double. SQLite uses long double, but
fortunately it's a soft requirement and you can substitute using a double. It only
uses long double (for best precision) in a few places related to converting text
representations of floating point numbers to the REAL data type (IEEE 64 bit format).

The host I'm using doesn't have the tcpip$*.h headers in the X86$LIBRARY 
directory right now, complicating a cross build of the OSU server.
