Hi

MPIR-2.2.0-rc1 is released for testing here

http://www.mpir.org/mpir-2.2.0-rc1.tar.gz

Changes are:

Explicit support for ancient cpu's and OS's has been removed

Demo programs have been removed from the library

Upgrade to the latest Yasm,autotools,gnulib

Removal of the pre-build stages

Testing of DLL builds for MSVC now work

General simplification and tidying up of the code

make check tests now can run in parallel

Full assembler support for MinGW64 (known as *-w64-mingw32)

On x86/x64 with GCC the library is now built with noexecstack , a security 
feature for SELinux (ie Fedora 12/13)

Known problems:

Cygwin builds fail , although this appears to be a problem with Cygwin itself 
and not MPIR as the previous MPIR now fails , whereas it did work before.

The batch builds (ie ./configure ,make ,make check) for MSVC have not been 
updated for the new file layout and so make clean does not clean-up properly 
and make check does not work for DLL builds. NOTE: The underlying MSVC 
projects are fine , it's just the batch builds which call them. The batch 
builds have been depreciated in favor of a command line type build which is 
slated for the next major release.

Reports of the results of any testing done (whether pass or fail) are greatly 
appreciated. Please do and try a few combinations of options ie
--enable-shared
--enable-static
--enable-fat
--enable-assert
--enable-cxx

and please report the output of ./config.guess

Thanks
Jason
