Sounds reasonable to me.

Excellent news!  I'm inclined to simply remove them again in order to
avoid more surprises like disappearing __gmp_rand().

Bug#363692: libgmp3-dev: Private header files are unusable.

2006-04-20 Thread Laurent Fousse
Package: libgmp3-dev
Version: 4.2.dfsg-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

I noticed from some mpfr build log[1] that the private header files for
GMP installed in /usr/lib/gmp are not usable: we miss fib_table.h and
mp_bases.h, for example (see gmp-impl.h).

I know I've asked for those internal headers to be available for mpfr
in the past, but I've talked with mpfr's developers again on this
issue and the conclusion is that the speed benefit we can gain from
having these headers in the build process is minor, and we can
therefore do without (and it is cleaner anyway).

I don't know about other packages who do or would like to use these
headers; mpfr don't need them anymore so you're free to deal with them
as you like from my point of view: either remove them altogether, or
add with the lacking files.

Regards,

Laurent.
