Tom?

Yesterday evening i was building a pristine master reference again and
saw that mpfr et al are (still) pretty outdated.
AFAIR i cannot mix BBCLASSEXTEND vs. old-fashioned recipes for one
package (didn't try if that's still true) so i'm, again, running into
the issue of what to do with older toolchains needing that canadian
stuff. I'm not too jazzed about the idea to touch the old toolchains
just because i want to have current gmp/mpc/mpfr/gcc (using CLASSEXTEND
nativesdk). So, how to proceed?

cheers,
