Static library checking fails on mac OSX 10.9 and clang

[Denis RAUX]

Hello,
I managed to build a static version of libgmp.a but unfortunately the check  failed with the error : 
libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -ggdb -o t-bswap t-bswap.o  -L/Users/denis/DEV/SDKsrc/../SDKg/lib ./.libs/libtests.a /Users/denis/DEV/SDKsrc/gmp-6.0.0/.libs/libgmp.a ../.libs/libgmp.a
ld: pointer in read-only segment not allowed in slidable image, used in ___gmpn_divexact_1 from /Users/denis/DEV/SDKsrc/gmp-6.0.0/.libs/libgmp.a(dive_1.o)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [t-bswap] Error 1
make[3]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[2]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [check] Error 2

The dive_1.asm referes to only one external symbols :

bash-3.2$ nm -g mpn/dive_1.o
                 U ___gmp_binvert_limb_table
0000000000000000 T ___gmpn_divexact_1

This symbol is non located in a read only segment :

bash-3.2$ nm -go .libs/libgmp.a |grep mp_binvert_limb_table
nm: no name list
.libs/libgmp.a:mp_minv_tab.o: 0000000000000180 S ___gmp_binvert_limb_table

Here are some pieces of  information about the host :
bash-3.2$ uname -a
Darwin TexMac.local 13.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.4.0: Mon Jan 11 18:17:34 PST 2016; root:xnu-2422.115.15~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

bash-3.2$ gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.6)

bash-3.2$ ./config.guess
coreinhm-apple-darwin13.4.0
bash-3.2$ ./configfsf.guess
x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0
bash-3.2$ 


I attached the config.log and dive_1.asm.

I would add that the build with the —-disable-assembly option passed the check. ,This appears also with the version 5.
The shared version passes also with any problem
