My reply: You are correct. The gcc people replied to my bug report with: "So the problem is your GMP/MPFR are compiled for one type of CPU and cannot be copied to other type." They closed it as a resolved issue. So the problem is that gcc now requires GMP, and GMP was compiled with options that are not compatible with my CPU. I can fix the issue for myself by compiling everything from scratch. The bigger issue is can cygwin distribute a version of gcc that will work with all modern processors, including mine, with it's weird lack of AVX and AVX2. Since I ran into the issue, I suspect anyone else with a mobile processor like mine will run into the issue. I don't know enough about how cygwin is built and installed to know how different versions of the GMP library might be distributed for different Intel processors. But the problem is not going to go away, and really should be addressed in order to make cygwin run on all reasonable platforms. jeff -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
