Problem compiling latest SVN

[ATH]

WraithX helped me alot with various problems, now I'm down to an assembler compiling problem.

I can compile the official version 6.3 (ecm-6.3.tar.gz) without problem. Now I try the latest SVN and "autoreconf -i" and configure works but it failes in the beginning of "make" when I have --enable-asm-redc and --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 or --build=x86_64-pc-mingw32 but works if --build=i686-pc-mingw32. With --disable-asm-redc it works with all the different --build.
Here is the error message:

$ make

I also tried another version of mingw64 with a newer libtool/binutils.

If I find no answer to this, I'll have to use another --build with --enable-asm-redc. Which is best build for a quad core Q9450 when x86_64 doesn't work. i686 or i786? or some other? there is also i886 and i986 but the assembler code not supported, but I'm curious which processors those cover. With --build=i686-pc-mingw32 it says "Using asm redc code from directory athlon" and with --build=i786-pc-mingw32 it says "Using asm redc code from directory pentium4" so I guess non of those are great.

I use the CFLAGS -mtune=core2 -march=core2 so how important is --build?

Now that I've looked at the "offending" line in mulredc.s, I see that:

ifdef(`WANT_ASSERT', 
`	jz	1f
	lea     _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_(%rip), %rbx

So, if I remember right, just pass in --disable-assert to the configure script, and this problem should go away. In the official gmp-ecm 6.3 release, assert is not turned on, and this is why that was building successfully for you. Let us know how it goes.

You are correct again of course It works, thanks alot for all your help.

I thought assertion was enabled by default in the official release, but I forgot that was back during release candidates: http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpos...57&postcount=7

I guess it's ok to run without assertions? I'll test it a bit anyway.
