Error building gmp 4.3.1

[jon.hermansen@…]

Build failure, gmp-4.3.1. I found other build failures like this (both with FFmpeg), but no solution was ever found...

ffmpeg - unable to install: ​http://www.mail-archive.com/macports-users@lists.macosforge.org/msg05259.html

BUG: Error building ffmpeg: #12191

I made sure to clean the work directory after first seeing this issue, and then tried it again. It is reproducible every time I try to install gmp on my machine. I have attached the full build log, here's the tail end of the build where it aborts.

Build log of gmp-4.3.1

[jon.hermansen@…]

I'm sorry, I submitted the bug and forgot to put in a useful title.

To get the maximum speed possible, the gmp package runs a scripts config.guess to find out as much as possible about the
type of processor.
For some reason, it thinks you are running a Athlon 64 processor from AMD.

checking build system type... athlon64-apple-darwin9.6.0
checking host system type... athlon64-apple-darwin9.6.0

This seems to be the source of your problem.

Can you think of any reason why this error would occur on your machine?

Yes, I am running Darwin on my AMD Phenom CPU. I can try setting "-march" in CFLAGS to a more generic instruction set, do you think that might help?

I won't have access to the machine until tomorrow evening. I'd be more than happy to triage the bug, now that I know it may be related to my architecture / CPU. If running on an AMD CPU is out of the scope of support from the MacPorts project, you can close this ticket.

Furthermore, if I can provide a Portfile patch to fix this issue, is it likely it will be accepted? (Assuming I can isolate and programatically detect when this issue will occur, and change the Portfile behavior in that case)

I've received information from another user who claims GMP will build with this configure line:

./configure --host=none-apple-darwin ABI=long
