2.0.2 is known to work with the programs I use it with.  If and when I
encounter a *functionality* lack, I may upgrade.  Until then, "if it
ain't broke, don't fix it".

But maybe 3.1.1 does fix some of the problems I've had with 2.0.2.
Does it fix the t-get_d problem I mentioned?  Or any of these:

- Missing manpages?

- Botches on systems that define both _BIG_ENDIAN and _LITTLE_ENDIAN
  (NetBSD 1.4T defines those and _PDP_ENDIAN, and then defines
  _BYTE_ORDER as one of the three)?

- Including <gmp.h> before <stdio.h> causes all the stdio-interface
  functions to disappear, rather than <gmp.h> itself including
  <stdio.h> so as to be able to declare them?

- s/ll/__ll/ in the VAX sdiv_qrnnd() definition?

- Missing #include of <strings.h> in mpf/out_str.c and mpz/set_str.c?

- Handling of "macppc" output from uname -m in config.sub?  (It's not
  recognized; when I treated it as equivalent to ppc, it worked.)

- All the advertised types are really arrays(!), thereby making it
  impossible to, for example, assign a variable of type mpz_t to
  another such(!!), and this being completely undocumented(!!!)?
