It should work if you build/link a static libgmp.a. > I agree it's a problem though. Default builds of these libraries on most platforms will produce DSO versions of the libraries. Defaults builds of gcc that link against these will link to the DSO instances. You pretty much need to be an expert to work around this. There's certainly no configure-time option that I'm aware of that will do all this for you -- it requires, at the least, changes to the make system. R.
