Aha; given that this isn't a regression, I was going to do this immediately after the prerelease; but I'm happy to squeeze it in before if you think that's better. I think what we need just is - import of the Gnulib `havelib' module (actually we already import this indirectly, but now we need it directly) - AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS(gmp) in configure.in - update of the "Additional INSTALL instructions" section in README, to mention the --with-xxx-prefix configure options, and to point to the Gnulib doc on how these work (and how they sometimes don't). Do you want to squeeze this in? Regards, Neil
