The assembly is not a problem, since most distros build GMP with --enable-fat. But the rest gets compiled with arch and tune generic, not exploiting any instruction set extensions most CPUs nowadays have. But we could at least /offer/ the option to build Sage with --with-[g]mp=system etc. -leif -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
