[issue19732] python fails to build when configured with --with-system-libmpdec

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah added the comment:

Matthias, my target is to release mpdecimal-2.4 on January 9th 2014.
I saw that you started to package mpdecimal-2.3:

    http://packages.debian.org/pt/source/sid/misc/mpdecimal

I hope that it can be changed to 2.4:  Packaging 2.3 would create
some confusion, since one or two functions are not binary compatible
with 2.4 and of course 2.3 cannot be used for Python.

Starting from 2.4, the remainder of the 2.x.y series will stay
binary (and decimal.py) compatible.
