At least not in a straightforward way; already on x86_64, it fails to
replace all occurrences of gmp-6.0 in commencement.scm by gmp.

It should at least be combined with a pending MPFR update:

I have no opinion on the other packages. I expect the gmp/mpfr update
to be rather smooth, but to just require a lot of rebuilds. This may
not be the case for a glibc update.
