There has been no decision because I needed to update
gcc/doc/install.texi.  You'll also notice that you can
use gmp 4.1 or newer, so the broken behavior of darwin
with gmp 4.2 shouldn't be a problem.

Note my copyright assignment covers all of gcc, and I'm
listed as a Fortran maintainer.  I, however, believe that
I do not have "write after approval" for this change.
Someone else will need to do the commit.

	* configure.in: Require MPFR 2.2 or newer for gfortran.  Raise
	the require on GMP to 4.1
	* configure: Regenerated.
	* gcc/doc/install.texi: Document the new requirements.
