GMP 4.2.2 has been released. The gmp port is nomaintainer, but there are known problems with Mac OS X[*], in particular on x86, and I don't have an x86 Mac OS X machine to try. As I don't want to introduce problems on x86, could someone who has both kinds of machines try the upgrade?
I am on 32-bit Intel and I have gmp 4.2.1_4 installed, as a dependency of gcc42. I have no idea how to test whether it's working properly. Well, I could run "port test" I guess. I could try the upgrade on Intel and if it works I'll post a patch and someone on PowerPC can try it. I made a ticket: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12701
BTW, it would be nice to have a universal 32/64 build, but I haven't had the time to try yet.
I don't believe we have any provisions in base for universal 32/64 builds. If that would be nice, then we should do it in base, shouldn't we?
