Well, I was just going to do a quick update to 4.7.1-1, still as a test: version, in order to a) fix the dependencies and b) get exported TLS vars working, and then integrate all your extra patches before doing the first full curr: release. Is that not a good idea? b) in particular was important for getting new versions of mpfr to work without having to disable thread support. cheers, DaveK
