  i'd like to report some possible bugs in The GNU
  Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library.
  Tonight  I poked around with it and encountered some errors
  during compiling and after running the "make check" routines.
  
  First of all, to get the succesfully configured build system to compile
  the library, I had to comment out
  the line "Error, error, this data is for 62 bits" in several .h and .c
  files.

Brave!

  These files were
  
  fib_table.h
  mp_bases.h
  mpn/mp_bases.c
  mpn/fib_table.c
  mpn/perfsqr.h
  mpz/fac_ui.h
  
  
  After compiling the library with gcc 4.5.0, I was running "make check"
  as recommended, and got two more errors.
  
Well, perhaps editing those lines weren't such a good move?  

These lines were not there by chance, as you might have guessed.

If you need help with building GMP after having read the proper sections
in the (on-line) manual, please ask for help at gmp-discuss mailing
list.
