[Ecls-list] eclgmp on osx?

[Rick Taube]

by doing --with-system-gmp=yes i am able to build ecl current cvs on  
osx 10.4.8 --  what am i losing by not using ecl's version of gmp?

this incantation doesnt build on my ppc with current cvs:

./configure --enable-threads=yes --enable-boehm=included --with- 
system-gmp=no --with-x=no
make

[...]
if [ -f CROSS-COMPILER ]; then \
         touch ecl_min; \
else \
         gcc  -o ecl_min cinit.o c/all_symbols.o -L./ libeclmin.a - 
leclgmp -leclgc  -lpthread   -lm  ;\
fi
/usr/bin/ld: truncated or malformed archive: .//libeclgmp.a (ranlib  
structures in table of contents extends past the end of the table of  
contents, can't load from it)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [ecl_min] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
