[MPFR] Mac OS X power pc issue with C99

[arnold at skeeve.com]

Hi. Thanks for this note.

This boils down to being a compiler issue. I get the same problem trying
to build current GMP on that system.  I am now going through the process
of bootstrapping a newer GCC on that system to see if that will help.
If it does, I will then see if I can use newer versions of GMP and
MPFR there.

Thanks,

Arnold
