Sorry about that. AFAICT, no package actually used cyggmpxx-3.dll. I
need to rethink the packaging - perhaps add a gmpxx-devel package (or two).
gmp was built with gcc3. I really didn't expect a g++-3 compiled
libgmpxx to work with g++-4, but I see
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-04/msg00262.html> that you built a
working PPL. I will try that myself.
libgmp++ has been of little or no interest on cygwin. This will change
if we use it (via GRAPHITE) in gcc-4.5. Perhaps I need to read up on
the alternatives package, and provide versions for g++-3 and gcc-4.
