It is not completely identical. It is from upcoming 3.0.0 port (not yet
uploaded). I should find a time to collect all packages for gmp-5.0.1, mpfr-3.0.0
and mpc-0.8.2 (all is built) and upload to ftp.delorie.com. Should hopefully be
easier to modify for a different package rather than the old one.
