Problems install gmp 5.0.5 on Powermac Quad with OS X 10.5.8

[Christian Calderon]

Well, I discovered that the problem I was having was with my apple  
version of gcc. Apparently it didn't have support for __gnu_inline__  
stuff, and that was making everything fail. so I HAVE to use the CC=  
part of my configure. I tried again after installing gcc47 from  
MacPorts, and everything seemed to go ok, until i tried:

make check

Which is where everything died again. It looked like I was missing  
some architecture specific files, as I saw these line in the output of  
make check just before it output a bunch of undefined symbol warnings  
and died:

ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/gcc47/libgcc_ext.10.5.dylib, missing  
required architecture ppc64 in file
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/gcc47/gcc/ppc-apple-darwin9/4.7.2/ 
libgcc.a, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the  
architecture being linked (ppc64)

So I will try now to use JUST the CC option and see where that takes me.
Also, I took a look at the url you sent me to, and here is the other  
info:

uname -a
Darwin administrators-power-mac-g5.local 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version  
9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:57:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_PPC  
Power Macintosh

./config.guess
powerpc970-apple-darwin9.8.0

./configfsf.guess
powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0

This time I was configuring as so:

./configure CC=gcc-mp-4.7 CXX=g++-mp-4.7 --prefix=/opt/gmp/5.0.5 -- 
enable-cxx --enable-assert --build=powerpc970-apple-darwin9.8.0

I will attempt to build again using only CC=gcc-mp-4.7 now.
