I'll swing around for a second pass at gmp and mpfr and rebuild them again.

I started a fresh bootstrap build about twelve hours ago with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set and with some luck the process will continue to completion and then onwards towards the testsuites. Thank you and I'll keep plugging away at this. Dennis Clarke
