Not entirely true:

Those of us who use cygwin and want to use the latest GCC have to first 
compile a non MPFR GCC (e.g. 4.1.x) before they can compile the latest 
GPFR  and link GCC to it.

This is not a big deal if you know that you have to do that, but if you 
don't know why the MPFR fails and wich snapshot you have to use as an 
immediate step it can be very frustrating.

I would welcome a configuration option that disables all the MPFR 
related things. That would make compiling GCC on a naked cygwin 
installation *much* easier.


Cheers,
    Nils Pipenbrinck
