site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com David, I think I have solved the problem. I thought the use of only -fno-common in gmp to compile shared libs looked suspect. Sure enough if I compile gmp 4.2 with... ./configure --enable-cxx CC='gcc -fPIC' CXX='g++ -fPIC' ...the resulting build fully passes make check on the G5. I don't believe that -fno-common provides PIC code in the same fashion as -fPIC. Googling those flags show a lot of code using both -fPIC and -fno-common in the compiles.
