I have not been able to get 2.6.1 from CVS to build following 
Aurelien's instructions here:

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/gcl-devel/2003-11/msg00075.html

./configure --disable-statsysbfd --enable-custreloc 
--enable-machine=powerpc-macosx

make

make churns along for quite a while, but something goes wrong here:

ranlib .libs/libgmp.a

any suggestions?  I can't get cvs head to build either.  This is on mac 
osx 10.3.2 with gcc 3.3

I can't find anything more recent than Aurelien's  message from 
November I referenced above.  I suspect some of the older information 
is out of date now.

Thanks,
