I have found that the downloading of mpfr from its official site is very
slow in our region, sometimes, costs several hours and even fails at
last. But the downloading from one of its local GNU mirror sites is fast
and deterministic.

And I have checked that the latest version of mpfr has been stored in
the GNU mirror site too:

http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/mpfr-4.2.1.tar.xz

So, it should be reasonable and safe for us to do such switch ;-)
