  Hi.
  
  I'm trying to compile gmp on solaris 2.6/sparc.
  
  I get the following errors:

  I'm compiling on an ultra 5, but I hope to run this on sun4c and up.
  
  Any suggestions?

You are basically asking two questions.  How you can solve the compile
problem above, and how you can build GMP in a mode that runs on SPARC
systems.

Kevin replied to the first question.

If you really want GMP to run on all sparc systems, do like this:

        configure --target=sparc-sun-solaris2.6
        make

That will avoid both the multiply instructions added for SPARC v8 and
those added for SPARC v9.  You should be aware that the resulting
library will run very slowly on any sparc hardware from the last 10
years.
