Yes, but this problem is not only between MPFR and GMP. Even if MPFR chose the GMP rules, there would be problems with other software. I don't know any software other than GMP that chooses an ABI different from the default one, and I think that's the reason why when GMP is built by ports/packages, the ABI is changed back to the default one (well, this seems to be the general case). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
