Considering that your patch removes the conditionals on MPFR versions 
from the code (good!), is there any reason for gcc to keep this unusual 
minimum/recommended split in the requirement?

Either 2.3.0 is good enough, or 2.3.2 contains some critical fix
and should be the minimum version.

Anything I miss?
