21:46 Bug #1443: Illegal instruction
OK, I do not know what is going on. This is *really annoying!*
I have compiled CoCoA-5 with the *@generic@* opti...

20:29 Bug #1443: Illegal instruction
The illegal instruction seems to be coming from the statically linked GMP library -- that is *@libgmp.a@* (and/or @l... John Abbott
12:08 Support #1222: Release CoCoA-5.3.0
There's a new version of GMP!! Released almost 2 months ago, but I didn't notice.... odd!

21:34 Support #240 (Closed): GUI compilation: GMP is not naturally thread-safe
No one seems to care about this issue; I'm pretty sure it has lost all relevance, so I'm closing it.
