The issue has been resolved in gmp-6.3.0 for M silicon. I am how looking at:

and the crash is in a GMP call via MPFR. This is on Intel silicon on Ventura. I
have just run `make check` on the RSB build of GMP and it is not great:

Oh, so this is an mac intel issue then.
I'm gonna make the suggestion do just remove support for Intel Macs for
RTEMS 6.0.
I mean, what is the number of developpers who:
1) Will release a product based on RTEMS 6 (out in 2024 hopefully)
2) Have enough money to buy an Intel MacBook
3) Do not have enough money to upgrade 4 years later, especially with
the 3x compile speed improvements the M1/2/3 brings?
My guess is zero. And there is always the possiblity to use a free
Ubuntu MV on these obsolete macs.
I know the senior RTEMS developpers are very very busy, so I (selfishly)
would prefer if they use their time for something more productive :)
Here at Precidata for example, we've put our product developpement with
RTEMS on hold for the past 5 months, because of bug #4923 (STM32h7 FPU
corrupted on return from IRQ).
So may I humbly suggest to forget obsolete developpement platforms and
focus energy on new targets?
Thanks for your answers and all your work.
Cedric
