New description:
This is a follow-up to #8664.
The following spkgs are based on the MPIR 2.1.3.p4 spkg from #8664:
* http://spkg-upload.googlecode.com/files/mpir-2.3.1.p0.spkg [[BR]]
md5sum: `ff0104e302611e49604a1c4ead97cbf4 mpir-2.3.1.p0.spkg`
* http://spkg-upload.googlecode.com/files/mpir-2.4.0.p0.spkg [[BR]]
md5sum: `98e04aa43ceef04d83574f0ee8e152fc mpir-2.4.0.p0.spkg`
You may want to give both of them a try, although the former is just
intended as a "fallback" spkg in case problems introduced in the latter
should arise.
'''Note:''' On '''64-bit''' processors running '''32-bit''' operating
systems, one currently has to set `ABI=32`, otherwise the build will fail.
This will be fixed in newer versions of the spkgs.

The list of changes between MPIR 2.1.3 (more precisely, 2.1.1) and MPIR
2.4.0 is fairly long, so I haven't put them into the description, but
[attachment:MPIR_upstream_changes_between_2.1.1_and_2.4.0.txt attached
them] in a plain text file.

For instructions on how to install / test the spkgs see also #8664,
although '''the necessary patch and the required GMP-ECM 6.3 spkg from
#5847 are now already merged into Sage 4.7.2.alpha3'''; i.e., it is
meanwhile sufficient to just
* copy the spkg into `$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/`, then
* run
{{{
#!sh
$ env SAGE_UPGRADING=yes make build
}}}
(or omit `build` to also rebuild the documentation in the same `make`
run).
The test suite of our "current" FLINT 1.5.0 spkg won't build with any of
the MPIR 2.x spkgs, so don't use `SAGE_CHECK=yes` when installing it. This
will be addressed on #9858, by providing a FLINT 1.5.2 (or 1.6) spkg.
To run just MPIR's test suite, you can reinstall the spkg with
`SAGE_CHECK=yes`:
{{{
#!sh
$ env SAGE_CHECK=yes ./sage -f spkg/standard/mpir-<version>.spkg
}}}
Or, if you haven't yet installed the spkg (but copied it into
`$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/` as mentioned above), do:
{{{
#!sh
$ env SAGE_CHECK=yes ./sage -i spkg/standard/mpir-<version>.spkg
$ env SAGE_UPGRADING=yes make build # rebuilds all dependent packages
}}}
Afterwards you can run `make doc` to (re)build the documentation, and / or
`make ptestlong` to run Sage's full test suite in parallel.

Slightly related: #11844 reports a potential race condition due to yasm
when building MPIR in parallel. We've never run into this [before] though.

Comment(by leif):
Added a note on the need to set `ABI=32` on 64-bit machines running 32-bit
operating systems. (The same is true for the already merged MPIR 2.1.3.p4
spkg.)
Also added a reference to #9858; FLINT 1.5.0's test suite won't build with
any of the MPIR 2.x spkgs because it uses deprecated functions, and
updated the installation instructions.
