The attached patch updates gmp to the latest release 6.3.0. I have tested it on x86_64 and the x86_64-w64-mingw32 cross-compilation target, since I have taken out a work-around for this target. There are close to 20000 dependent packages, but as far as I can see bootstrapping is not concerned, which starts from gmp-6.0. It would be interesting to try whether we can bootstrap directly from 6.3.0 now, that is, whether the comment ;; We keep this one around to bootstrap GCC, to work around a compilation ;; issue on ARM. See ;; . is still valid; it might let us drop the two gmp patches altogether. Andreas
