RFC: cutting 4.9.0 on 24 September

[Daron Chabot]

The gmp and mpfr versions on my os x machine were both insufficient  
to satisfy gcc-4.3.0's dependencies. I just grabbed the latest  
sources and used them to build gcc: the newer gmp and mpfr were not  
installed locally.

Not sure why the gmp/mpfr dependencies were introduced into gcc  
(optimization, maybe?)...
Joel may know something about that...
