Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gdb/doc: uniformize wording for GMP and MPFR entries
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 12:46:57 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230306-doc-require-mpfr-fix-v1-2-8f207504dd3e@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230306-doc-require-mpfr-fix-v1-0-8f207504dd3e@gmail.com>

Make the wording of the GMP and MPFR entries in the "Requirements for
Building GDB" section of the documentation more uniform by:

- mentioning the configure script in the GMP entry, as is done in the
  MPFR entry
- adding the long name of the MPFR library between parenthesis, as is
  done in the GMP entry
- removing the second paragraph of the MPFR entry and moving its content
  to the first one, mimicking the wording of the GMP entry
