You mean, when building gcc, or when building ppl itself?
If in gcc, then this is to be considered a bug in gcc.

So, what does that mean? You need to both set static *and* specify the
interfaces?

PPL takes very long to build... I never ever saw it fail here (building
with 6-8 jobs).

And the check takes ages to complete, even in parallel. For example, on my
machine, building PPL takes roughly 1'40", while checking it takes 1h40'.
And I never dared to test in no-parallel... :-/

I'll have a look here with a lot of jobs ( hey I just got a hyperthreaded
hexa core Core i7 just for this kind stuff! Let's put it into action! ;-) )

Yes, please.

Did 0.11 changed the confgure options? --with-libgmp-prefix is here just
to say where GMP has been installed.

What about the --enable-cxx, just above? Or is it just 0.11 changing this
configure option as well?
