Graphite's CLooG and PPL libraries use libgmpxx. Because cc1 is not linked
by g++, this effectively requires that libgmpxx must be a shared
library. libgmp
does not have to be a shared library, but it makes things simpler. MPFR is
a static library in my current configuration.
I configure using --with-mpfr=
