Are you sure it uses MPFR?  I thought that for gcc 4.3, MPFR was used only for
compile-time constant expressions.  For a call to tgamma whose argument is
not known at compile time, the usual libm function should be used.

For example, on my machine, if I compile
and run the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

double f(double x) {
  return tgamma(x);
}

int main() {
  printf("%.16g\n", tgamma(12.0));
  printf("%.16g\n", f(12.0));
  exit(0);
}

I get the results:

39916800
39916800.00000003
