Cherry-picked from upstream:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=commit;h=1c4398015583eb77bc043234f5734be055e64bea
Everything except external/apache2/llvm/dist/llvm/cmake/config.guess
is patched, which is under vendor tag and cannot be modified. I expect
that this file is not actually used as we use hand-crafted version of
configure script instead of cmake for building LLVM.
Note that external/apache2/llvm/autoconf/autoconf/config.guess has
already been committed on Oct. 20, but commit message disappeared as
cvs aborted due to "permission denied" when trying to modify the file
mentioned above. Sorry for confusing you.
Also note that GMP uses its own config.guess Patch for
external/lgpl3/gmp/dist/config.guess is provided by ryo@. Thanks!
- Bug fixes to gmp_snprintf, conversion to double, mpz_powm,
and mpf_set_str.
- New functions for factorial, primorial, fibonacci, mpz_2fac_ui,
and mpz_mfac_uiui.
- MIPS r6 cores are now supported.
- Various speeds ups.
Changed __float128 to the type _Float128 specified in ISO/IEC TS 18661.
__float128 is used as a fallback if _Float128 is not supported.
New function mpfr_get_str_ndigits about conversion to a string of digits.
New function mpfr_dot for the dot product (incomplete, experimental).
New functions mpfr_get_decimal128 and mpfr_set_decimal128 (available
only when MPFR has been built with decimal float support).
New function mpfr_cmpabs_ui.
New function mpfr_total_order_p for the IEEE 754 totalOrder predicate.
The mpfr_out_str function now accepts bases from -2 to -36, in order to
follow mpfr_get_str and GMP's mpf_out_str functions (these cases gave an
assertion failure, as with other invalid bases).
Shared caches: cleanup; really detect lock failures (abort in this case).
Improved mpfr_add and mpfr_sub when all operands have a precision
equal to twice the number of bits per word, e.g., 128 bits on a 64-bit
platform.
Optimized the tuning parameters for various architectures.
Changes from version 4.0.0 to version 4.0.1:
- Bug fixes (see ChangeLog file), in particular in mpfr_div_ui, which
could yield an incorrectly rounded result to nearest when using
different precisions; this bug had been present since the introduction
of mpfr_div_ui, and in MPFR 4.0.0, it was affecting mpfr_div too.
Changes from versions 3.1.* to version 4.0.0:
- Partial support of MPFR_RNDF (faithful rounding).
- New functions: mpfr_fpif_export and mpfr_fpif_import to export and import
numbers in a floating-point interchange format, independent both on the
number of bits per word and on the endianness.
- New function mpfr_fmodquo to return the low bits of the quotient
corresponding to mpfr_fmod.
- New functions mpfr_flags_clear, mpfr_flags_set, mpfr_flags_test,
mpfr_flags_save and mpfr_flags_restore to operate on groups of flags.
- New functions mpfr_set_float128 and mpfr_get_float128 to convert from/to
the __float128 type (requires --enable-float128 and compiler support).
- New functions mpfr_buildopt_float128_p and mpfr_buildopt_sharedcache_p.
- New functions mpfr_rint_roundeven and mpfr_roundeven, completing the
other similar round-to-integer functions for rounding to nearest with
the even-rounding rule.
- New macro mpfr_round_nearest_away to add partial emulation of the
rounding to nearest-away (as defined in IEEE 754-2008).
- New functions mpfr_nrandom and mpfr_erandom to generate random numbers
following normal and exponential distributions respectively.
- New functions mpfr_fmma and mpfr_fmms to compute a*b+c*d and a*b-c*d.
- New function mpfr_rootn_ui, similar to mpfr_root, but agreeing with the
rootn function of the IEEE 754-2008 standard.
- New functions mpfr_log_ui to compute the logarithm of an integer,
mpfr_gamma_inc for the incomplete Gamma function.
- New function mpfr_beta for the Beta function (incomplete, experimental).
- New function mpfr_get_q to convert a floating-point number into rational.
- Dropped K&R C compatibility.
- Major speedup in mpfr_add, mpfr_sub, mpfr_mul, mpfr_div and mpfr_sqrt when
all operands have the same precision and this precision is less than twice
the number of bits per word, e.g., less than 128 on a 64-bit computer.
- Speedup by a factor of almost 2 in the double <--> mpfr conversions
(mpfr_set_d and mpfr_get_d).
- Speedup in mpfr_log1p and mpfr_atanh for small arguments.
- Speedup in the mpfr_const_euler function (contributed by Fredrik Johansson),
in the computation of Bernoulli numbers (used in mpfr_gamma, mpfr_li2,
mpfr_digamma, mpfr_lngamma and mpfr_lgamma), in mpfr_div, in mpfr_fma
and mpfr_fms.
notes:
- support for thumb-less ARM chips was in our port of 5.1.3, but a
similar method has been provided upstream now
- someone should look at the AVX failure reports, and fix them
Changes between GMP version 6.1.0 and 6.1.1
FEATURES
* Work around faulty cpuid on some recent Intel chips (this allows GMP to run
on Skylake Pentiums).
* Support thumb-less ARM chips.
Changes between GMP version 6.0.* and 6.1.0
BUGS FIXED
* The public function mpn_com is now correctly declared in gmp.h.
* Healed possible failures of mpn_sec_sqr for non-cryptographic sizes for
some obsolete CPUs.
* Various problems related to precision for mpf have been fixed.
* Fixed ABI incompatible stack alignment in calls from assembly code.
* Fixed PIC bug in popcount affecting Intel processors using the 32-bit ABI.
SPEEDUPS
* Speedup for Intel Broadwell and Skylake through assembly code making use of
new ADX instructions.
* Square root is now faster when the remainder is not needed. Also the speed
to compute the k-th root improved, for small sizes.
FEATURES
* New C++ functions gcd and lcm for mpz_class.
* New public mpn functions mpn_divexact_1, mpn_zero_p, and mpn_cnd_swap.
* New public mpq_cmp_z function, to efficiently compare rationals with
integers.
* Support for more 32-bit arm processors.
* Support for AVX-less modern x86 CPUs. (Such support might be missing either
because the CPU vendor chose to disable AVX, or because the running kernel
lacks AVX context switch support.)
* Support for NetBSD under Xen; we switch off AVX unconditionally under
NetBSD since a bug in NetBSD makes AVX fail under Xen.
MISC
* Tuned values for FFT multiplications are provided for larger number on
many platforms.
Changes between GMP version 5.1.* and 6.0.0
BUGS FIXED
* The function mpz_invert now considers any number invertible in Z/1Z.
* The mpn multiply code now handles operands of more than 2^31 limbs
correctly. (Note however that the mpz code is limited to 2^32 bits on
32-bit hosts and 2^37 bits on 64-bit hosts.)
SPEEDUPS
* Plain division of large operands is faster and more monotonous in operand
size.
* Major speedup for ARM, in particular ARM Cortex-A15, thanks to improved
assembly.
* Speedup for Intel Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, thanks to rewritten
and vastly expanded assembly support. Speedup also for the older Core 2
and Nehalem.
* Faster mixed arithmetic between mpq_class and double.
FEATURES
* Support for new Intel and AMD CPUs.
* New public functions mpn_sec_mul and mpn_sec_sqr, implementing side-channel
silent multiplication and squaring.
* New public functions mpn_sec_div_qr and mpn_sec_div_r, implementing
side-channel silent division.
* New public functions mpn_cnd_add_n and mpn_cnd_sub_n. Side-channel silent
conditional addition and subtraction.
* New public function mpn_sec_powm, implementing side-channel silent modexp.
* New public function mpn_sec_invert, implementing side-channel silent
modular inversion.
* Better support for applications which use the mpz_t type, but nevertheless
need to call some of the lower-level mpn functions. See the documentation
for mpz_limbs_read and related functions.

- More tests.
Changes from version 3.1.3 to version 3.1.4:
- Improved MPFR manual.
- Bug fixes (see <http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.1.3/#fixed> and ChangeLog file).

- Bug fixes (see <http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.1.2/#fixed> and ChangeLog file).
introducing since release of software to be recognised. This should hopefully
allow the builds to progress a littles further on systems such as the POWER8
which features a little endian 64-bit PowerPC CPU identified as ppc64le.
