Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gdb/doc: MPFR is now a necessary requirement
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 12:46:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230306-doc-require-mpfr-fix-v1-1-8f207504dd3e@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230306-doc-require-mpfr-fix-v1-0-8f207504dd3e@gmail.com>

Since 99118062785 (Use toplevel configure for GMP and MPFR for gdb,
2022-11-08), MPFR is mandatory for building GDB. That commit adjusted
the "Requirements for Building GDB" section of the documentation so that
the MPFR entry mentions "now uses" instead of "can use", but left the
whole entry under the "Tools/Packages Optional for Building GDB"
heading.

Move the MPFR entry to the "Tools/Packages Necessary for Building GDB"
heading.
