Hi,
I am packaging GNU UPC right now for work and it requires mpc/mpfr/gmp.
The issue at hand is that while we have packages for them, they are quite
old and used by illumos-gcc.
For each flavour of GCC in oi-userland we download and rebuild these
libraries locally.

Questions:
- Should I compile locally these 3 libraries for GNU UPC?
- Should illumos-gcc use its own version of these libraries?
- Should we update our antiquated versions in oi-userland?

Sharing is good unless it causes harm so the third option seems preferable. When I was building GCC myself under OpenIndiana for personal use, I believe that these libraries were shared by multiple GCC builds and I did not encounter a problem.
