PS. The current behaviour is a bit annoying; if gawk has no MPFR support, and
you run the glibc testsuite,

* the printf tests are UNSUPPORTED, but
* the corresponding memory tests FAIL

(and that's a lot of FAIL).

Would it be possible to fix this such that both test sets report UNSUPPORTED
in that case?

TIA,
Andreas
