To: Mikel Rychliski and Ken Moffat From: Leon Wycliffe
A quick look at the links Mikel provided opened my eyes. Never would have thought to look at the GMP-bugs mailing list. Built my new system on a $300 budget. Should have spent $50 more for an i3. CLFS did not insist on testing the final build GMP, LFS does. The compilers that I built were all subtly defective and produced crippled systems. I will restart and try adding --build=ivybridgenoavx to the configure line to every package built (well, at least the mathematical ones). This sixth generation Intel CPU requires the use of binary "firmware blobs". I do not have much of a handle on this concept. Upon boot there were always various complaints produced about the handling of firmware, but the systems and kernels were all defective. I will continue and keep you posted on my progress. And ask for help when needed. Thank you both very much.
