So in this specific case fulfilling a 2.3.1 requirement would be easy, while a 2.3.2 requirement would make it much harder to build gcc 4.4 .
I don't think anybody who tries to build GCC from source will have any problem building MPFR first.
This is moot because for the reason given above, these hypothetical regressions are restricted to gcc if the person building gcc is careful.
"careful" = uses an undocumented trick ?
Or where at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ is this documented?
