If anyone besides me still has a PowerPC Macintosh, it's no longer
possible to build gawk using MPFR. C99 and the last version of MPFR
that works on that platform don't get along, and I could not solve
the problem. So I simply disabled the MPFR check in configure.ac on
that platform.

There are reports of compilation issues on Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).
The only compiler reported to have produced a complete pass of
"make check" is the MacPorts compiler, /opt/local/bin/clang-mp-3.5.
