I have now committed a fix to mpir to remove the remaining symbol conflicts with flint, apart from the mpn ones, which will be fixed on the flint side.
No filenames need change in mpir. This is because we tend to omit mpir and mpn prefixes etc in the filenames. I also moved the fft interface out of gmp-h.in (gmp.h and mpir.h) and fully into gmp-impl.h. Only mpn_mul_fft_main is now in gmp-h.in. Everything else is now an internal function. Bill.
