GMP reserved prefix (experimental).

--with-mini-gmp (still experimental, read doc/mini-gmp).
+- A GCC bug on Sparc (present at least in old GCC 4.5.3 and 5.5.0 versions),
+ which made several tests fail when TLS was enabled, is now avoided in the
+ tests. The MPFR library itself was not affected and normal code using the
+ MPFR library should not be affected either. Users and distributions that
+ disabled TLS just because of the test failures can safely re-enable it.
Changes from versions 3.1.* to version 4.0.0:
- The "dinde aux marrons" release.
