The next version (7.x) of Coreutils can link against libgmp if available. >From the release notes: "If the GNU MP library is available at configure time, factor and expr support arbitrarily large numbers. Pollard's rho algorithm is used to factor large numbers." Yet another reason for possibly separate gmp installation in the chroot. Keep in mind tho' there are some gotchas. Last time I checked, the problem pointed to below was still there ie: build failure for 32-bit x86 if the real hardware is 64-bit. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-10/msg00698.html Regards Greg -- http://www.diy-linux.org/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
