For those users who have gcc 4.3.2 (e.g. in Debian Lenny) which
miscompiles MPIR, there is the following information provided by
Gonzalo, which should help:

To: Bill Hart <goodwillh...@googlemail.com>


FYI, there's an update to gcc-4.3.4 in the backports repo
(http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/gcc-4.3) which should work
in lenny (stable debian).
Maybe that's useful to mention somewhere (or tell people with problems).

I haven't tried it on my box yet, but I will later.

(the main point of the backport being that it doesn't depend on new
libraries; e.g. if one were to install the newer gcc-4.4 from testing,
it would probably require a new libc and in chain another zillion
upgrades to testing, while the one in backport should be more or less
self-contained).
