See my recent patch to toplevel configure.in.  THe minimum required 
versions should be gmp-4.1.x and mpfr-2.2.0.

I think that gmp and mpfr would need to be imported into GCC.  If you read the
gmp webpage, it often contains warnings about using newer versions of GCC to 
gmp because of bugs.

I could be mistaken, but I believe one can configure gmp for a generic library
that does not use any machine (ie., cpu) specific assembly.

If you haven't read fortran/{arith.c,simplify.c}, then I'd suggest
that you take a look to see what gmp/mpfr can do.
