EXC_I386_INVOP in GMP 6.1.2 on OS X

I d/l’d the GMP source, ran configure and make on the MacBook Pro (early 2013) with the issue.  I also have a iMac with the same version of the OS and compiler and GMP works correctly on that computer.  The software also worked correctly on this MacBook Pro with GMP 5.1.1.

There are a lot of source files in the application (hundreds) and other 3rd party libraries, but since the error implies that GMP was not compiled correctly, I would have to create a small program to reproduce the error.  if you still want me to reproduce with a small program then let me know.

Here is what I see in lldb.  You can see the instruction that it had a problem with.

The output from configure is attached at the end of the e-mail.

I believe this covers everything needed for a bug report.


A separate issue is a couple of compiler warnings with GMP on that MacBook.  These appear to be unrelated to the issue I’m running into.
