[Ecls-list] MinGW build fails with '--with-system-gmp' (and other queries)

[marc daya]

Greetings all,

In trying to build ecl from the CVS sources
(http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/root.tar.gz?root=ecl&view=tar),
and I have a couple of questions:

First, at a couple of points during the compile I see the following:

   if test -f ../CROSS-DPP ; then ../CROSS-DPP
/c/_/pvt/tmp/ecl-cvs/ecl/ecl/src/c/main.d main.c ; else ./dpp.exe
/c/_/pvt/tmp/ecl-cvs/ecl/ecl/src/c/main.d main.c ; fi
   dpp: c:/_/pvt/tmp/ecl-cvs/ecl/ecl/src/c/main.d -> main.c

   Unknown symbol: mp::*current-process*

   Unknown symbol: mp::+load-compile-lock+

   Unknown symbol: mp::+load-compile-lock+

   Unknown symbol: si::*record-source-pathname-p*

There are similar notices for instance.c, typespec.c, assignment.c, load.c,
ffi.c; mostly just referring to 'mp::+load-compile-lock+'.  Should I be
concerned about these?  Does this point to somethat that is likely to cause
problems later, or can I safely ignore them?

Second, more seriously, I have enountered the following error after the
lisp core has booted:

   ;;; gcc -I"c:/_/pvt/tmp/ecl-cvs/ecl/ecl/build/c"  -g -O2

   Top level.

I only see this having configured with '--with-system-gmp':

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-threads --enable-shared
--with-system-gmp --with-gmp-prefix=/usr/local

gmp.h is present in /usr/local/include, and libgmp.a in /usr/local/lib, and
configure seems happy with the locations:

   checking for __gmpz_init in -lgmp... yes

If I run the 'gcc' invocation on its own, that
is:

   $ cd build && gcc -I"c:/_/pvt/tmp/ecl-cvs/ecl/ecl/build/c"  -g -O2
-I/usr/local/include -fstrict-aliasing -Dmingw32
-I"c:/_/pvt/tmp/ecl-cvs/ecl/ecl/src/c" -O
"-Ic:/_/pvt/tmp/ecl-cvs/ecl/ecl/build" -w -c
"c:/_/pvt/tmp/ecl-cvs/ecl/ecl/build/lsp/export.c" -o
"c:/_/pvt/tmp/ecl-cvs/ecl/ecl/build/lsp/export.o"

it completes without errors.

I'm building using MinGW:

   $ uname -a
   MINGW32_NT-5.1 NBMNDAYA 1.0.10(0.46/3/2) 2004-03-15 07:17 i686 unknown

   $ gcc --version
   gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.2 (mingw-special)

Without '--with-system-gmp' everything builds just fine.  Is there
something that I've overlooked?

Thanks,
