Although not a major change in terms of lines of code, my patch to require certain GMP/MPFR versions has the potential to disrupt workflow for people who are relying on older libraries at the moment. The configury bit was approved by DJ for stage1, but do you see any reason to hold back? Or is this posting sufficient warning that people may need to upgrade? (I.e. people should start upgrading their libraries now.) http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-10/msg00284.html Thanks, --Kaveh -- Kaveh R. Ghazi [EMAIL PROTECTED]
