gmp problem under darwin powerpc

[Denis Excoffier]

Hello,

We have a problem in mpc under darwin/powerpc. It seems related to
gmp (5.0.5). Look at this:

% cat e.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include "gmp.h"

int
main()
{
  mpz_t a;
  int ret;
  mpz_init (a);
  mpz_set_str (a, "13017918183496977133775209079164003070786863049686786465873731362497345253379866083852810820103005813030391929785402872601518953148250859762321945896609724349178326747526622443454716367524", 10);
  gmp_printf ("a=%Zd\n", a);
  ret = mpz_perfect_square_p (a);
  printf ("ret=%d\n", ret);
  mpz_clear (a);
}

I compiled gmp-5.0.5 with default options (ie no specific CFLAGS from
myself), which brings -O2 and -force_cpusubtype_ALL, and all tests
passed.
If i compile using "setenv CFLAGS -O0" (csh syntax), compilation fails
with 92 messages like (this one is the first one):

tmp-mod_34lsub1.s:166:vxor vector instruction is optional for the PowerPC (not allowed without -force_cpusubtype_ALL option)
(with vxor replaced sometimes with lvx, vsldoi, vadduwm etc.)

If i compile using -O0 -force_cpusubtype_ALL, compilation is OK.

My GCC is 4.7.1 bootstrapped 3 stages, with 1st stage under Xcode 3.1.4,
with sources of gmp-5.0.5, mpfr-3.1.1 and mpc-1.0.0rc1 included within
the build tree (i mean: if you feel suspicious towards the compiler...).

I would suggest that you add the e.c above (thanks to Paul Zimmermann)
to your testsuite.
