 >  * Is there any reason to "unset RM"? it says it messes with libtool
 while running "make check". I do not see this restriction in the MPIR
 package, or the MPFI one e.g. Is this for a specific architecture? Is this
 really needed? I guess this is fixed by #3537.

 Unsetting `RM` is safe, but meanwhile a bit redundant.  Newer autotools
 use `$RM` instead of `rm -f` (or `$RM -f`), so tend to fail if `RM`
 happens to be set to (just) `rm`.

 >  * MAKE is set back to make before running "make install" (and then
 "make check" in the original package), any undocumented reason?

 I'm pretty sure that's a relict from when people didn't know how to
 properly disable ''parallel'' `make`.  If in doubt, use `$MAKE -j1
 install` etc.
