gmp-4.3.1-3 for cygwin-1.7


Version 4.3.1-3 of gmp, libgmp3, libgmpxx4 and libgmp-devel for
cygwin-1.7 have been uploaded.  This release is intended provide DLLs
that can be successfully rebased.

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION
===================

Homepage: http://gmplib.org/
License : GNU LGPL

GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating
on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. There
is no practical limit to the precision except the ones implied by the
available memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of
functions, and the functions have a regular interface.

CHANGES SINCE LAST RELEASE
==========================

The DLLs in the 4.3.1-1 release could not be rebased, which broke
applications including gcc-4 and expr.  This was a consequence of the
move from gcc-3 to gcc-4.

This release is rebuilt using CVS binutils and using the -shared-libgcc
option, which seems to solve the problem.

INSTALL OR UPGRADE NOTES
========================

Standard install.
