Comment(by jpflori):

 Some thoughts about the spkg-install script:

  * It sets some CFLAGS and others itself, is it needed? does not mpfr look
 for the gmp header and pumps from there if possible? and should we take
 advantage of this (as in done for mpir where spkg-install look at what
 mpir chooses if CFLAGS et al. are empty)?
  * Is the patch for Solaris stuff still needed? (see #6453) -> at least
 the code in mpn_exp.c did not change in mpfr 3.1.0, so I guess it has to
 be included to support outdated Solaris systems where memset is buggy?
  * It always runs the test suite, whether SAGE_CHECK is set (then it is
 ran twice...) or not (then just once), is there still a good reason for
 doing so? It seems that such a behavior was also present in the MPIR spkg
 but was removed (see #9522 and !#8664)
  * make should be replaced by $MAKE in spkg-check
