You reported to whom? [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the spammer himself - see the
sig - so reporting there will do nothing. We should all report to domaincow.com
(the dns provider) and vitts.com (the upstream provider). Spam sent to a
mailing list constitutes one count of net abuse for each address on the list.

The first bug has already found by Yann Forget!. It will affect to
those users of GNU gcc compiler other than x86 platform, gcc will give
an error. You can try now the version 1.99 with the first stupid bug
fixed. 

The new source code:

ftp://209.133.33.182/pub/valor/Glucas-1.99.tar.gz

Thanks ! 

Regards.

Guillermo.

At last, writing assembler in old gas syntax was a nightmare. The readily
available nasm likes Intel syntax, too, and most programming-inclined x86-unix
boxes will have it installed, so we could use that too to assemble the FFT
sources.
But assembling is not really necessary to build the mprime binary even after a
"make clean" because the elf .o files can be converted from the intel .obj file
which are also in the linux/ directory. This takes binutils which like coff-i386
object files (see the linux/makefile) and many linux boxes are not configured that
way - you'd have to rebuild your binutils first.
So, yes you can make clean and still make the binary if you have a suitably
configured system. But unless one is working on the FFT code, one might just keep
the .o files and not worry about all this...

Ciao,
  Alex.

Hi,

I'll test it on RS6000:
IBM B50, PPC 604e, 375 Mhz, 500 Mo RAM
Any input about possible optimization
welcomed.

Best regards,

The latest version of gas can, apparantly, handle intel syntax with
the appropriate psuedo-op. I haven't looked into it, but it should be
possible to get prime95 to compile on any i386 unix box with trivial
changes once the new version is the standard.
