prompted by Ian's patch that needed mpfr 3.0.0+, I've now completed the
tests, with mpfr built with --disable-thread-safe to avoid most of the
failures above. Bootstrapped mainline on i386-pc-solaris2.11 and
sparc-sun-solaris2.11, both 32 and 64-bit, and gcc-6 branch on
i386-pc-solaris2.10 and sparc-sun-solaris2.10.
No regressions in all cases, so the new versions are an option with the
proviso of prominently documenting the need for --disable-thread-safe
(or fixing the bugs in time ;-).
