There was also discussion of using GMP (and in particular MPFR) within the
core of GCC to handle constant folding for the standard C <math.h> and
<complex.h> functions, as MPFR gives us good implementations of most of
these functions without a large and error-prone effort in reimplementing
them. (Of course this would need proper configure support, and probably
importing GMP into GCC CVS with a --with-system-gmp configure option for
when you know the system library is recent enough.)
