--- Comment #15 from Leif Leonhardy <bugfeed at online dot de> 2012-04-05 18:03:31 UTC --- Just for the record: Also MPIR 2.1.3, MPIR 2.4.0 and NTL 5.5.2 fail to build, with the same error message ("error: ‘asm’ operand requires impossible reload"). Work-around for MPIR: Compile with (e.g.) '-O0 -finline-functions -fschedule-insns', which of course is quite odd. $ uname -rsm Linux 2.6.16.46-0.12-default ia64 $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
