No problem.

Thanks!

In the meantime, I've gotten ecl to compile natively on my target
platform (a Sharp Zaurus), although I had to comment out GMP's
configure script complaining about unsigned division not working in
gcc 2.95.3 for the arm cpu series.  I haven't seen any errors yet
(though I haven't done much bignum division, either :), and I don't
think I'll have much use for bignums in my target application, but
we'll see.  If it turns out I'm wrong, well, hopefully cross compiling
will work by then!  :)
