GCC supports built-in __int128 and unsigned __int128 types (on 64-bit platforms only), but it looks like formatting support for 128-bit integers is less common in libc.

Note: <stdint.h> defines __int128_t and __uint128_t on versions before gcc4.6. See also Is there a 128 bit integer in gcc? for a table of gcc/clang/ICC versions.
