Oh, if mpfr and mpc had bumped soname at the same time, the BuildRequires: change would not have been necessary. But if these libraries are not coordinated in this way, then you are right, something like this has to be done (given that it's not possible to load mpfr twice at different versions, due to lack of symbol versioning). > Thanks for responding so quickly.

I appreciate everybody's patience with this process. We need to verify that we can still build a working bootloader on s390x, but that can wait until next week.
