and the crash is in a GMP call via MPFR. This is on Intel silicon on Ventura. I
have just run `make check` on the RSB build of GMP and it is not great:

<p>Oh, so this is an mac intel issue then.</p>
<p>I'm gonna make the suggestion do just remove support for Intel
Macs for RTEMS 6.0.</p>
<p>I mean, what is the number of developpers who:</p>
<p>1) Will release a product based on RTEMS 6 (out in 2024
hopefully)<br>
2) Have enough money to buy an Intel MacBook<br>
3) Do not have enough money to upgrade 4 years later, especially
with the 3x compile speed improvements the M1/2/3 brings?</p>
<p>My guess is zero. And there is always the possiblity to use a
free Ubuntu MV on these obsolete macs.</p>
<p>I know the senior RTEMS developpers are very very busy, so I (selfishly)
would prefer if they use their time for something more productive
:)</p>
<p>Here at Precidata for example, we've put our product
developpement with RTEMS on hold for the past 5 months, because of
bug #4923 (STM32h7 FPU corrupted on return from IRQ).</p>
<p>So may I humbly suggest to forget obsolete developpement
platforms and focus energy on new targets?</p>
<p>Thanks for your answers and all your work.</p>
