  Well, I was just going to do a quick update to 4.7.1-1, still as a test:
version, in order to a) fix the dependencies and b) get exported TLS vars
working, and then integrate all your extra patches before doing the first full
curr: release.  Is that not a good idea?  b) in particular was important for
getting new versions of mpfr to work without having to disable thread support.
