For Lucid, libmpfr-dev 2.4.2-3ubuntu1 pulls in libmpfr1ldbl, which has
libmpfr.so.1. For Natty, libmpfr-dev 3.0.0-7 pulls in libmpfr4, which has
libmpfr.so.4 -- this is presumably what you'll get a dependency on if you
compile gccgo on Natty. So libmpfr-dev should work (as would depending on
libmpfr4 | libmpfr1ldbl if we didn't want the dev package for some
reason, but there's no harm in it).
