This is not a really a problem of STk itself, but I report here FYI.

I found that gmp-1.3.2 has a problem when compiled in
SGI CC 7.2 (on IRIX 6.2). The mpz function aborts when
you try to print bignum.

The reason is that printf() doesn't work correctly without
a proper prototype, which produces wrong __mp_bases table.
Adding just one line fixes the problem (patch attached below).

I also tested to use gmp-2.0.2, but it seems to have other problems...
