Hi,
I don't know if this bug was already fixed (not found in ml archives)
but here is the issue:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
...
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 23
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5440 @ 2.83GHz
stepping : 6
cpu MHz : 2826.289
...
but ./configu.guess
pentium3
As a result, gmp can't be compiled for x86_64 on this machine.
Here is a fix for config.guess:
*** config.guess~ 2007-09-01 19:15:34.000000000 +0200
--- config.guess 2008-04-18 12:09:34.000000000 +0200
***************
*** 704,711 ****
fms = cpuid (dummy_string, 1);
! family = (fms >> 8) & 15;
! model = (fms >> 4) & 15;
stepping = fms & 15;
modelstr = "i486";
--- 704,711 ----
fms = cpuid (dummy_string, 1);
! family = ((fms >> 8) & 15) | ((fms >> 16) & 0xf0);
! model = ((fms >> 4) & 15) | ((fms >> 12) & 0xf0);
stepping = fms & 15;
I don't think that is correct, the "extended family" field is 8 bits
wide and should be added,to contatenated to the family field:
family = ((fms >> 8) & 15) | ((fms >> 20) & 0xff);
model = ((fms >> 4) & 15) | ((fms >> 12) & 0xf0);
Yes, this is silly, but it is how cpuid is defined.
