 What versions of GMP/MPFR do you get on
your typical development box and how old are your distros?


For the RTEMS Project machines we try to stay
on fairly recent Fedora versions.


I still have to deal with older distros (e.g. RHEL 4), but it's
already necessary to use newer gmp and gas versions, as well as a newer
mpfr version, in that case.


For the RTEMS's toolchain packages on such "stagnating OSes", we
resort to bundling "sufficiently recent enough" mpfr/gmp-source tarballs
with the GCC-sources and building them "in-GCC-source-tree" instead of
using the host provided system-libs.

One ends up with GCC being statically linked against these libmpfr/gmp's on such OSes.

I do see that FreeBSD Ports has mpfr 2.4.1. How advanced of them.
Amazing :-()
