Sisyphus MPFR build

[White, Jim (ITD)]

Rob:  Those errors you are getting remind of when I first tried to build
mpfr. There is some naming/scoping problem linking that way that I couldn't
resolve.

The problem doesn't occur with dynamic linking, so now, when I rebuild GMP,
I use the MPFR object files produced to create a shared library:

   ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --build=$CPU-pc-mingw32
--enable-mpfr
   make

   # after gmp build
   cd mpfr
   gcc -shared -o libmpfr-$CPU.dll *.o ../.libs/libgmp-$CPU.dll

Maybe this helps, maybe not!

Cheers
