To make things clear : - this is with mac os 10.4 and 5 running in 32 bits mode on 64 bit intel hardware, so there is no PPC involved here, - we do not set PIC in the sage spkg, nor does MPIR itself, so it seems that some autotools magic decide to add it by default, - the problem is that MPIR then wants to use the corresponding asm files with PIC defined and these files use the @GOT construction that Apple's AS in this Mac OSes does not understand Here is how we dealt with that before: delete all the problematic asm files, so that there is no @GOT anywhere and that did the trick. According to Bill, and if I understood correctly, that should not be necessary because autotools should detect its building MPIR on Mac OS on intel hardware and should choose the x86/applenopic subdirectory rather than the files from the x86 toplevel or say from the x86/core2 subdirectory which contain the @GOT construction. But that does not seem to be the case, files from other directories than the applenopic one are picked up here. Not sure what to think of the PIC thing. I guess it's quite natural that autotools tries to build PIC code by default if the system should be capable. The problem here is really that it also chooses files in a wrong directory and in the case of PIC code, the assembly files in this directory contain instructions that the assembler does not understand. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
