2.0.2 is known to work with the programs I use it with. If and when I
encounter a *functionality* lack, I may upgrade. Until then, "if it
ain't broke, don't fix it".
But maybe 3.1.1 does fix some of the problems I've had with 2.0.2.
Does it fix the t-get_d problem I mentioned? Or any of these:
- Missing manpages?
- Botches on systems that define both _BIG_ENDIAN and _LITTLE_ENDIAN
(NetBSD 1.4T defines those and _PDP_ENDIAN, and then defines
_BYTE_ORDER as one of the three)?
- Including <gmp.h> before <stdio.h> causes all the stdio-interface
functions to disappear, rather than <gmp.h> itself including
<stdio.h> so as to be able to declare them?
- s/ll/__ll/ in the VAX sdiv_qrnnd() definition?
- Missing #include of <strings.h> in mpf/out_str.c and mpz/set_str.c?
- Handling of "macppc" output from uname -m in config.sub? (It's not
recognized; when I treated it as equivalent to ppc, it worked.)
- All the advertised types are really arrays(!), thereby making it
impossible to, for example, assign a variable of type mpz_t to
another such(!!), and this being completely undocumented(!!!)?
