Please show the error you encountered. I built gmp-4.1.4 on Cygwin, and it passed all tests. I used the shipped ``configure'', but adding -DPIC is not a new libtool behavior. There was a thread about this general topic awhile ago. That GMP actively uses -DPIC to select the correct assembly came up: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2003-01/msg00060.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
