Hello, Manuel,
Please disregard my earlier report. I had improperly bootstrapped. Once I d=
id so correctly, the problem disappeared.=20
Thanks,=20

Hello, Manuel,
With recent bignumber changes, I am seeing BXZERO undefined errors when com=
piling bdb when configured to build the full bee.=C2=A0 The error is:
Linking...
/usr/bin/ld: /home/jwd/bigloo_srcs/bigloo-1/lib/bigloo/4.6a/libbigloo_s-4.6=
a.so: undefined reference to `BXZERO'
From what I have seen, this is due to differences in the generic and gmp im=
plementations of bignumbers. The generic implementation defines and exports=
the functions BXZERO, BXPOSITIVE, and BXNEGATIVE. The gmp implementation d=
oes not. However, when compiling the runtime library with BGL_BOOT=3D1, it =
appears we are mixing the 2 implementations, resulting in unsafe/rsa.scm be=
ing miscompiled. It rends up eferencing the function BXZERO (due to extern =
definitions in bigloo_bignumber.h) which is not defined for the GMP bignumb=
er implementation. I am not sure why this does not show up elsewhere but it=
does surface when compiling bdb. I have not been able to find any easy wor=
karounds. My guess is that the 2 implementations need to be reworked a bit =
to have equivalent interfaces, i.e., both export BXZERO, BXPOSITIVE, and BX=
NEGATIVE or not, but maybe, there is a better way that I have not thought o=
f.
