I believe at least a couple of people have tried and failed to get gpm+mpfr to build reliably inside the gcc build system. IIRC the problems were related to gmp autodetecting build machine capabilities, which breaks canadian crosses, and building redistributable toolchains. I never tried the integrations myself, and don't know the exact details. Paul
