Comment(by cgohlke):

 I get this failure on all msvc builds of numpy 1.5.0.dev for Windows
 because there is no LDEXPL function. However, on this platform, since
 sizeof(long double) == sizeof(double), it would be safe to use the double
 precision LDEXP function. Same for FREXP.

 A patch is attached.
