<para>If you are building for 32-bit x86, but you have a CPU which is
capable of running 64-bit code <emphasis>and</emphasis> you have specified
<envar>CFLAGS</envar> in the environment, the configure script will
attempt to configure for 64-bits and fail.
Avoid this by invoking the configure command below with
<screen role="nodump"><userinput><parameter>ABI=32</parameter> ./configure ...</userinput></screen></para>
</note>
<note>
<para>The default settings of GMP produce libraries optimized for
the host processor. If libraries suitable for processors less
capable than the host's CPU are desired, generic libraries can be
created by running the following:
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cp -v configfsf.guess config.guess
cp -v configfsf.sub config.sub</userinput></screen></para>
</note>
<para>Prepare GMP for compilation:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="configure">./configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-cxx \
--disable-static \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/gmp-&gmp-version;</userinput></screen>

<para>Test the results:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">make check 2>&1 | tee gmp-check-log</userinput></screen>
<caution><para>The code in gmp is highly optimized for the processor where
it is built. Occasionally, the code that detects the processor misidentifies
the system capabilities and there will be errors in the tests or other
applications using the gmp libraries with the message "Illegal
instruction". In this case, gmp should be reconfigured with the option
--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and rebuilt.</para></caution>
<para>Ensure that all 197 tests in the test suite passed.
Check the results by issuing the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">awk '/# PASS:/{total+=$3} ; END{print total}' gmp-check-log</userinput></screen>
