Actually, most of the work was done by Henri Cohen. Sorry for the screwed up
patch (Igor's solution in pari-dev-567 is correct, and I also forgot to
include the bench update in the patch...); I had to tamper with the diff by
hand which turned out not to be a Good Idea. We're trying to set up a CVS
server, which should make accessing an up-to-date version much easier than it
is now.

If our implementation of Doud's work turns out to be acceptable, I'll release
2.0.16 very soon.

> Also, why is it using cc instead of gcc, which Configure did find:

Because one the machines Configure was tested on, cc was much better than the
(oldish...) installed version of gcc. Various problems (often severe)
occured on OSF1 / AIX / HPUX, so by default, cc is used there even if gcc was
found.

Try 

  env CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc Configure

(AS and DLLD are also used by Configure if they are set).

If it succeeds (it may) and produces a faster binary (it should...), let me
know and I'll check for gcc version before disabling it on alpha + OSF1.

  Karim.
