When gfortran is installed into a system where libgmp and/or libmpfr are
missing, it aborts with no error message. It does, however, return an exit
code of 1 - which is good. So at least make, or a script, can detect that
something bad happened.
Both in the case of linux and cygwin, libgmp and libmpfr are often not
installed by default. When this is the case, gfortran should issue a
reasonable error message prior to aborting. This would eliminate any confusion
as to why gfortran failed to compile the users code.
