Using a very recent -current source and your patch my simh test with 
-current is up to libgmp, which is the furthest it's ever been in recent 
memory!  (I did a cross-build with a patched source tree, and then 
installed the results on a simh instance. I am now doing a 'native' 
build with that simh instance.  I also have a native build happening on 
a physical 4000/60... but the results from the latter will be weeks off..)

Thanks!

Later...
