[Gcl-devel] Re: XGCL and Intel Mac

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  And thanks for the note!  No, I haven't forgotten -- I
have them merged here locally, but in the meanwhile gcl has broken on
the latest gmp (4.2).  Once I can find the time to synchronize
everything, I'll try to release these in 2.6.8.  Thanks again for all
your help on this!

Take care,
