Debian stable, and Ubuntu Hardy (most recent LTS release) have 2.3.1.
Same with OpenSUSE 11.0. So I think 2.3.1 is typical of current stable
releases; Fedora tends to be bleeding edge and not typical.
I still have to deal with older distros (e.g. RHEL 4), but it's
already necessary to use newer gmp and gas versions, as well as a newer
mpfr version, in that case.
Thanks to all who responded. Based on the various feedback, it seem like
for most (all?) people their box arrives with a recent enough GMP/MPFR or
they already have to get a sufficiently recent copy from source and build it
in-tree.
So upgrading GCC's requirements to gmp-4.2 and mpfr-2.3.1 should be
minimally disruptive. I'll prepare a patch for 4.5.
