GCCfss and gmp

Googling around on a nice sunny day I found out that GMP (GNU Multiple Precision Library) failed to build with GCCfss version 4.0.2 in 64-bit. It turned out that 'addccc' instruction wasn't recognized by Sun code generator. The supported form of it 'addxcc' was there, but v9 variant 'addccc' was missing. Certainly an easy fix. So upcoming version of GCCfss version 4.0.3 will understand this instruction and to make sure that gmp has no other issues with GCCfss we built it and tested it in 32-bit and 64-bit.

Ohh, yes, GCCfss version 4.0.3 is about to be released.

Hello, I understand that gccfss is not the same thing as suncc, but what about this thread ? http://swox.com/list-archives/gmp-bugs/2006-June/000491.html

Marc, the thread you quoted talks about issues of Sun Studio on Solaris/x86. GCCfss is for Solaris/SPARC only.
