Ioannis E. VENETIS <venetis@mail.capsl.udel.edu> pointed out that GMP and MPFR were not used by gcc.
Turned out that none could use GMP and MPFR as the config option changed its name, but the change was not propagated to all users.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:
     2 http://www.nabble.com/PATCH:-Use-short-for-fnstsw-td14775171.html
     3 
     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
