To be able to cope with pre-installed GMPs? Even if you leave the linker
option in, I would suggest to merge commit
82b8576c040e2d8fa5f524624478ac0effe18753 (to integer-gmp) in 7.2. Then,
people can at least generate PIC if they want to.
Personally, I would even omit the linker option and have people with a
broken, pre-installed GMP get the warnings. They are only warnings and
don't break the install and they are there for a good reason (i.e., they
are accurate warnings).
> Manuel, have you sent your patch to the GMP developers? If not, could
you do so please?
I just sent it.
