Q re Mac Leopard OS

[Kurt Foster <drsardonicus@earthlink.net>]

I downloaded and installed pari-v.2.3.3.  The readline problem from  
Tiger has persisted into Leopard, but the fix described in the FAQ  
also still works.  I simply had to change the directory name  
readline-5.0 to readline-5.2 in the cd command when installing  
readline-5.2.  Re-installing pari-2.3.3 after installing readline, it  
glommed onto readline-5.2 even without any flags on the Configure  
command.  I also threw in the extra Galois group and elliptic curves  
data packs, and they got installed OK as well.

So far, so good.  I've used gp to do a number of calculations, and  
haven't made anything bad happen.

I figure the next step is install gmp, the Gnu multiprecision library,  
and then re-install pari using the --with-gmp flag in the Configure  
command.  But while checking for documentation and such for gmp, I  
found the page

http://gmplib.org/macos.html

which basically says the Xcode C compiler won't compile gmp properly.

What I want to know is,

(a) Is that caution out of date?

(b) If not, what do I have to do to work around the problem?
