==========
The DJGPP port of Gawk has been compiled and tested using the
following combinations of MPFR and GMP versions on FreeDOS and
other versions of the DOS operating system:
GNU MPFR 3.1.6, GNU MP 6.1.2

Precompiled binaries of GMP and MPFR for DJGPP are available
from DJ Delorie's ftp server and mirrors:

No previous versions of these libraries are supported.
Newer versions should work.

============================

As of gawk 4.2, MPFR is no longer supported on Mac OS X on PPC.
Gawk switched to C99, and the last PPC version doesn't play well
with C99.
