That is bug #211762. gmp is a build-dependency of gcc. That is why the upgrade 
is not that safe.

Another bug that concerns this review is bug #218041: the gmp-4.1.x package 
ships a static version of libmpfr. Static libraries should be removed from 
Fedora, according to guidelines.

A bug about unsafe use of something in scriptlets, with a patch from Ville 
Skyttä: bug #223692.
