-** K&R support
-
-Function definitions must be in the GNU stylized form to work.  See
-the ansi2knr.1 man page (included in the GMP sources).
-
-__GMP_PROTO is used for function prototypes, other ANSI / K&R
-differences are conditionalized in various places.
-
-Proper testing of the K&R support requires a compiler which gives an
-error for ANSI-isms.  Configuring with --host=none is a good idea, to
-test all the generic C code.
-
-When using an ANSI compiler, the ansi2knr setups can be partially
-tested with
-
-	./configure am_cv_prog_cc_stdc=no ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=no
-
-This will test the use of $U and the like in the makefiles, but not
-much else.
-
-Forcing the cache variables can be used with a compiler like HP C
-which is K&R by default but to which configure normally adds ANSI mode
-flags.  This then should be a good full K&R test.
