Re: GMP build on OSX

[Phil Carmody <thefatphil@yahoo.co.uk>]

I'm an OSX newb, so when even GMP 4.2.1 failed the same way I 
offloaded the task onto the guy who always seems to ends up 
doing my G5 builds for me:

I can offer a login account on my G5 to Bill or Karim if they 
want to try to fix this the proper way, rather than just adding 
ad hoc hacks which will need to be redone with every subsequent 
version. 

GMP is fast on G5s, particularly with Mark Rodenkirch's asm patches 
(not yet in the GMP main line yet, alas), so it's a shame to not be 
able to make use of it.
