4. Are you aware that the GMP home page says
[2006-05-04] GMP does not build on MacInteltosh machines. No fix
planned for GMP 4.x.
and indeed it does not appear to build correctly when configured on
my MacBook Pro?
Errr, well,
I have installed the version from macports on my macbook pro, and it works fine.
No new regressions in the gcc testsuite since the GMP patches.
Because of the severe nature of this problem (everything doesn't
build, multiple hosts affected), I'd like you to consider backing out
this patch until the problems are fixed. I'll work on a patch which
just disables the check for Darwin.
Uh, what?
In this case, I have no idea what problems you are experiencing, as
the version of GMP/MPFR required works fine on macbook pro, AFAICT.
It's actually about time we got to using GMP in the middle end, and I
don't believe reverting a patch because some non-primary platforms
have a few pains here and there initially is the best course of
action.
Also, although I experience no regressions, i'll point out that there
is no automated tested for macintel darwin that posts to
gcc-testresults, which does not bode well for something you would like
to be a primary platform.
