Yes, that's what this ticket is about.

versions.
I'm not using any patches either. The question is whether other platforms
(Solaris? OS X?) need patches.

When I first tried to build the optional gcc from #12369 with graphite
(hence, together with the optional cloog-ppl package from #12666), I
thought that cloog-ppl needs GMP (not MPIR). This is why I opened this
ticket in the first place.
I found a massive ''slow-down'' when I built sage with the optimizations
provided by graphite. Big surprise. But some people suggested that the
culprit might in fact be GMP. So, I am started over. I can not tell yet
whether Sage is faster with MPIR than with GMP. However, GMP is definitely
not required by cloog-ppl, which lessens the priority of this ticket
considerably, from my perspective...
