GCC 8.0.0 Status Report (2018-01-15), Trunk in Regression and Documentation fixes only mode

[Andrew Roberts]

It might be worth checking what MPFR is linking with in the test suite. 
I seemed to see it
linking with the system libs when built in tree, rather than the in tree 
ones.
This seems a regression in the MPFR test suite compared with 3.1.6
