Cross-compiling for powerpc860

[Matthias Gorjup]

Hello,

this bug has cost me 8 working days...
I was cross-compiling gmp library for a powerpc860 platform:
# ./configure --build=pentium4-pc-linux-gnu --host=powerpc860-linux-gnu 
--prefix=/home/gorjup/target_ppc_gmp
# make
# make install

Compilation worked OK and I installed the library on my ppc platform.
I tested your example from INSTALL and I got a message 
GNU MP: Cannot reallocate memory (old_size=4 new_size=268435456)

After examining the problem for a while a used following configuration:
# ./configure --build=pentium4-pc-linux-gnu --host=powerpc-linux-gnu 
--prefix=/home/gorjup/target_ppc_gmp
# make
# make install


After that your example from INSTALL (and also my application, using gmp) was 
working well.

Best Regards

Matthias Gorjup
