GMP 5.1.1 make check fail on Solaris 11

[ken mays]

Hi Marc,

For a Solaris 10 or Solaris 11-based OS platform, I'd suggest only testing with Studio's 'CC -library=stdcxx4' when using Oracle Studio 12.1. 

Otherwise, use GCC.

gmp-5.1.1 compiles fine for me using Oracle Studio 12.1 when I --disable-assembly. I only get the one bug reported below when I use '--enable-cxx --disable-assembly' as well.

Hope that helps someone,

Ken Mays

Thanks for the follow-up.

To be sure: it worked fine for you with Oracle Solaris Studio 12.3 even without disabling asm?
