Re: GMP on OSX errors

[glenbo]

well after running it with your suggestions below it changes the error
slightly
        tmp-add_n.s:64:Junk character -1 ().

hrm. Pine will not let me print the character that is problematic.
interesting.  The offending character is an upside down caret, like
SHIFT-6, but pointing down, and really small. I'm not even sure how to
type it. It's possible that that was the error all along and that it never
let me paste it into an email...

When I open up tmp-add_n.s there are about 30 blank lines before it shows
this:
        .text
        .align  2
        .globl  ___gmpn_add_n
        ___gmpn_add_n:
        mtctr   r6              
        addic   r0,r0,0         
        lwz     r8,0(r4)        
        lwz     r0,0(r5)        
        addi    r3,r3,-4        
        bdz     .Lend           
.Loop:  lwz     r9,4(r4)        
        lwz     r10,4(r5)       
        adde    r7,r0,r8        
        stw     r7,4(r3)        
        bdz     .Lexit          
        lwzu    r8,8(r4)        
        lwzu    r0,8(r5)        
        adde    r7,r10,r9       
        stwu    r7,8(r3)        
        bdnz    .Loop           

.Lend:  adde    r7,r0,r8
        stw     r7,4(r3)        
        li      r3,0            
        addze   r3,r3           
        blr
.Lexit: adde    r7,r10,r9
        stw     r7,8(r3)
        li      r3,0            
        addze   r3,r3           
        blr

        ^

I replaced the offending character with a caret.
