Has there been any thought to including GMP/MPFR in the GCC repository
like we do for zlib and intl?
I do not think we should be including more such packages in the GCC
repository. It's complicated from an FSF perspective and it bloats our
software. GCC is a complicated piece of software, and to build it you
need a lot of stuff installed on your system. I think we should just
accept that. :-)
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.)
It is my opinion (as a GCC developer, not as a representative of the
FSF/SC) that, yes, that is fine. I think most other people that
responded agreed. (I do think that we should make sure that MPFR works
on all of the popular host platforms, of course.)
