Err... should be. The difference is that now many more consistency checks and
"necessary" flags have been included [ they were not needed in the vast
majority of cases, but it made a difference on a number of configuration ].

Some of them probably upset the Darwin build.

If gp-dyn doesn't succed, gp2c doesn't stand a chance to dynamically load
modules. On the other hand it should still be able to compile scripts to C !

The latter is not needed once the former is done (do_dll is yes, and DLLD
is set above to CC since CC = gcc)

Can you update from cvs,
1) Configure pari >& config.log
2) cd Odarwin-*
3) make gp-dyn >& build.log
and send me the resulting logs and dft.Config.in? I'll try to reverse
engineer the situation.
