New description:

 libmpfr (and libmpfr and libmpc, #12515) are run-time dependencies of
 `gcc`.  With #12369, these therefore become build-time dependencies of
 Sage.  When these libraries are deleted during installation of mpfr, gcc
 stops working, causing build failures in parallel builds.

 Since there is no clear reason why the old libraries should be deleted, we
 simply don't delete them.  libmpir already doesn't delete libraries.
