There is no way around having some compatibility version, either in the same
or other rpm, at least for a short period of time, because gcc needs libmpfr
and libmpfr needs to be built with gcc, so if you upgrade incompatibly
libmpfr, you will build that package, but once it is in the buildroots, gcc
will not install anymore and so nothing that needs gcc to build will
succeed building.
