+On PowerPC Macintosh, if you build GCC 4.2.4 and use that version of GCC,
+you can compile gawk with MPFR and the C99 settings. So I have restored
+the MPFR check for that system. Right now the two readfile tests fail
+on that system; I may not let that block the release of 4.2.1.

-If anyone besides me still has a PowerPC Macintosh, it's no longer
-possible to build gawk using MPFR. C99 and the last version of MPFR
-that works on that platform don't get along, and I could not solve
-the problem. So I simply disabled the MPFR check in configure.ac on
-that platform.
