I don't believe that is what the configure warning implies. The wording *** MEMORY EXHAUSTION MAY RESULT IN ABRUPT TERMINATION. *** This is OK, if you do not plan to use the bounded memory capabilities *** offered by the PPL. suggests that **ppl** may result in abrupt termination, not the build process. In any case, the build behaviour is the precise opposite: rather than abrupt termination, it ran for > 240 minutes without activity. Moreover, the amd64 build DOES NOT produce this warning. You can see that in the build log of the original post. I verified it myself: I'm building ppl right now on amd64. Closing as I don't believe there is a gmp bug. However, I'm a little curious why the i686 build produces that warning while amd64 does not. Regards, -Steve
