[bug#49881] [PATCH] gnu: mpfr-boot: Use gmp-boot as a dependency

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hi,

Thiago Jung Bauermann <bauermann@kolabnow.com> skribis:

> The current GMP version is incompatible with MPFR 2.4 (which was released
> in 2009) and causes the build of ‘mpfr-boot’ to fail.
>
> Fix the problem by using ‘gmp-boot’, which is from early 2010.

Indeed.  However, it turns out that ‘gmp-boot’, ‘mpfr-boot’, and
‘mpc-boot’ are not actually used as dependencies; we only ever use their
source.

I propose to instead make that explicit with the patch below.  WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
