Note
If you are compiling this package on a different CPU than you
plan to run the CLFS system on, you must replace GMP's
config.guess and config.sub wrappers with the originals. This
will prevent GMP from optimizing for the wrong CPU. You can make
this change with the following command:
mv -v config{fsf,}.guess
mv -v config{fsf,}.sub
Prepare GMP for compilation:
CC="gcc -isystem /usr/include" \ CXX="g++ -isystem /usr/include" \ LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath-link,/usr/lib:/lib" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-cxx
Compile the package:
make
