For the upcoming release, I believe it's MPIR 2.0.1 so in the file
setversion, I would set the following values:

# set version number
VERSION=2
VERSION_MINOR=0
VERSION_PATCHLEVEL=1

This is something I do not know how to handle for the upcoming
release. If you please, I would like to know to which values I need to
set for the following variables:

# these are the library soname numbers see
# http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_91.html
# or the start of Makefile.am to see what was done before

LIBGMP_LT_CURRENT=9
LIBGMP_LT_REVISION=2
LIBGMP_LT_AGE=0

LIBGMPXX_LT_CURRENT=4
LIBGMPXX_LT_REVISION=7
LIBGMPXX_LT_AGE=1

There are some machines on SkyNet that I don't have access to. Two in
particular are varro and cato. I would appreciate it if anyone who has
access to those two machines would test out the rc after it's
announced. Following your suggestion, I recently applied for an
account on the GCC Compile Farm [1] and have been granted access to
that farm of build/test machines.

I'll keep the mpir-devel list updated on which machine I test.
