So when I start using MPFR from the middle-end for PR 29335, it's okay to
force everyone building GCC to get MPFR?  (I.e. not just the people who
want to build fortran.)

If so, that makes my life much easier and I'm all for it.  Including MPFR
was my way to smooth things over with this new dependency.  I'm happy not
to have to do it. :-)
