Not entirely true:
Those of us who use cygwin and want to use the latest GCC have to first
compile a non MPFR GCC (e.g. 4.1.x) before they can compile the latest GPFR
and link GCC to it.
I don't really see any issue here. Because to compile GCC you need a
compiler to begin with so compiling MPFR to start is easy, now if MPFR
does not support older GCCs, we might need to rethink this.
Cygwin comes with a GCC 3.4.somewhat out of the box. To compile MPFR you
need a 4.1 compiler. So you have to double compiling everything. And
worse: You have to know that you have to do this. There is no
information about that issue.
Besides that: compiling GCC under cygwin takes *much* longer than under
linux for example The config script alone (and there are more than one)
need around 20 minutes.
