Don't worry about it. I'm just reporting the issue. I have not tried the
latest Studio 12 patches yet. In the past the compiler itself ( acomp or
fpe ) would core dump if you used any optimization options at all.  It was
sad really.

Thus far I have seen libgmp 4.3.1 working well on Sparc but not x86. I
know that things will get nasty on x86 because of some assembly issues.
I'll let you know when I see them.
