------- Comment #2 from david dot kirkby at onetel dot net 2009-06-15 16:52 ------- That's what I did.
The real benefit I see is that someone could see what versions of the gmp and mpfr were used to configure gcc. So if they wanted to build it the same, they would have a much better chance. It would also be quicker to do. I guess it depends on the amount of worked needed to the configure.ac to determine if this is sensible or not. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40447
