I think this derived from a post in the thread GCC-4.3.2, Linux-2.6.26.2.
I don't have enough time on my hands to search the original post, though.
From what I understand about it, building GMP and MPFR as separate
packages is the preferred method, but the bootstrap build will fail
to locate these programs in the /tools directory in the first stage.
