Well, this is how this came up:
/afs/athena.mit.edu/software/gccgo_v4.50/arch/amd64_ubuntu1004/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.0/go1
wants libmpfr.so.1.

libmpfr1ldbl. libmpfr-dev has /usr/lib/libmpfr.so, but I'm not sure that
will satisfy the library requirement (I haven't tested). Whatever will
make go1 execute is fine with me.
