Building GMP for ARM AT91SAM7

[Michał]

Hello ,

OK, I followed your suggestions and modified configure command to:

./configure --build=athlon64-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-elf CC=arm-elf-gcc

This actually produced some errors suggesting wrongly installed arm 
toolchain. The problem was caused by the fact that I did not add 
necessary directories to my PATH. After fixing the problem I have 
successfully ran configure and make. But unfortunately make check 
returns error.

Could you suggest what causes the problem?

Below I am providing make check output:
