GMP and MPFR are required components of GCC, and every developer has to deal with them. For interfacing between GCC and LLVM, the experts who'll be able to answer the questions are generally going to be found on the LLVM lists, not the gcc list, and those (like you) who participate on both lists, well, you're on both lists. So as a practical matter, it seems that LLVM lists are more suitable. If it's ever decided that LLVM becomes a required piece of GCC, like GMP and MPFR, that would change.
