Thanks for your wonderful library.

Goal was to build gcc 4.6.1 under iOS, and thus its prerequisite GMP, 
from http://ftp.wayne.edu/pub/gnu/gmp/gmp-5.0.2.tar.gz.  Used ssh via 
wifi to an iPhone 3GS, version 4.2.1 (8C148), Model MB499LL, jailbroken 
with PwnageTool version 4.2, development tools from Cydia (see below, *).

tar -xzvf, cd gmp-5.0.2, ./configure --prefix=/var/stash, make failed, 
apparently the assembler complained about an error in the .s file.

The attached gmpbugtxt.tar.gz contains 9 text files, output from 
configure and make, from the 4 programs requested run by 
http://gmplib.org/manual/Reporting-Bugs.html, config.m4, and
mpn/tmp-invert_limb.s (in the tar file this file is not in a 
subdirectory); and on my own initiative, version information reported by as.

* Cydia packages installed included among others: autoconf, automake, 
base structure, bison, bootstrap commands, bourne-again shell, bzip2, 
core utilities, core utilities (/bin) , csu, curl, darwin cc tools, 
darwin tools, developer-cmds, ed, essential, fake libgcc, find 
utilities, flex, gawk, gettext, glib, gnu c compiler, gnu debugger, gmp 
(cydia package 4.2.2-1, on disk libgmp.3.4.2.dylib, older than mpc 
configure will accept), grep, gzip, libffi, m4, make, new curses, 
openssh, openssl, pcre (no perl though), python, sed, shell-cmds, 
structured grep, sudo.
