Hi Mimi,
yes, the fix is to select ABI=64 in case of gmp. But even the latest
gmp fails to pass "make check" on Mips 64. There is a workaround and a
patch, that has been integrated into eMPIRe. We will be switching in
the not too distand future.
Either way: I have build Sage 3.1.2 on a SiCortex box, but one cannot
use the system compiler since it is buggy and building a number of
packages causes internal compiler errors. Building a gcc 4.2.x or gcc
4.3.x is also quite tricky [it took me about a week to get a working
gcc 4.2 with gcc, g++ and gfortran], so the current plan is to use the
compiler provided by SiCortex. None of those fixes have made it into
the current tree, so it will be a while until Sage builds out of the
box on any SiCortex. I got 3.1.2 to start up and correctly do some
computations with modular forms and elliptic curves correctly, but GAP
for example is still broken at the moment. My main energy this year is
still going into other ports, but next year I will work full time on
the SiCortex port.
If you are serious about running Sage on SiCortex feel free to contact
me off list if the need arises.
Cheers,
Michael
