The patch which makes the MPC library a hard requirement for GCC
bootstrapping has been approved today.
Out of curiosity and ignorance: Why, specifically, is MPC going to be
a hard requirement?
On the prerequisites page, MPC is currently described with: "Having
this library will enable additional optimizations on complex numbers."
Does that mean that such optimizations are now an important
requirement? or is MPC being used for something else?
They are a requirement for Fortran, but it's (much) simpler to do them
for all front-ends.
