I think something is wrong with how gmp got configured. What options did you give to configure? What is the output of egrep -A1 'M4|CCAS|^\.[a-z]*\.[a-z]*' mpn/Makefile This is what I get: /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile --tag=CC ../mpn/m4-ccas --m4="m4" /usr/bin/gcc -std=gnu99 -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_`echo add_n | sed 's/_$//'` -m32 -O2 -pedantic -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=core2 -march=core2 `test -f 'add_n.asm' || echo './'`add_n.asm ../mpn/m4-ccas --m4=m4 /usr/bin/gcc -std=gnu99 -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_add_n -m32 -O2 -pedantic -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=core2 -march=core2 add_n.asm -o add_n.o m4 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -DOPERATION_add_n add_n.asm >tmp-add_n.s /usr/bin/gcc -std=gnu99 -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_add_n -m32 -O2 -pedantic -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=core2 -march=core2 tmp-add_n.s -o add_n.o Csaba -- GCS a+ e++ d- C++ ULS$ L+$ !E- W++ P+++$ w++$ tv+ b++ DI D++ 5++ Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts.
