I tried to send the message below to the list, without subscribing.  It
was thus rejected.  I then tried to send it to you off-list, which your
mail server doesn't like either, due to unblock.secureserver.net.  Would
you please forward it for me?  I have no intention to subscribe to yet
another mailing list, nor to debug mail server issues from my provider,
if they want feedback then they should *please* setup gmane.org or
another gateway.

Thanks, and sorry everyone else for bothering you,
Ralf



Hello mpc maintainers,

The tarball referenced in <http://www.loria.fr/~zimmerma/free/mpc.html>
builds on powerpc970-apple-darwin8.11.0.  Unlike the configure scripts
for gmp and mpfr, I had to use
  configure CC="gcc -m64" CXX="g++ -m64"

for mpc.  All checks passed.

Updating the tarball to a newer Libtool release will improve build time.

Is this mailing list already enlisted in gmane.org?  If not, it would be
nice if you did so, so that non-subscribers like me (Cc: me on replies,
please) can reply without breaking threads.

Cheers,
Ralf
