GMP is mainly used via MPFR. Thus, I'd expect the required version to be
bumped if a new MPFR version was required that in turn required newer GMP,
but otherwise there would be little use to a bump. New MPFR would be
required if needed for folding some function of use to GCC to fold
(erfc_scaled has been mentioned as one it would be useful to the Fortran
front end to have MPFR support for, for example, but SVN MPFR doesn't yet
support it; if it gains support, that might justify a future increase in
the required MPFR version).
