Hi ,

svn rev trunk 2474 should have the fixes applied .
I can not test it , so if you would be so kind, thanks.

The new code is : when config.guess or --build is used to pass
core2-apple-darwin to configure AND we are building with a 32bit ABI , then a 
new mpn code path is selected ie x86/applenopic/core2 which contains no PIC 
code. 

Note: this is ONLY for core2 ,not penryn(45nm core2) , or if someone is 
running darwin on an amd chip then it wont work.

Thanks
Jason
