New description:

 On my Power Mac G5, a crash occurs in config.guess, due to a generated
 code that contains the mfpvr instruction. This crash can be noticed (and
 is then annoying) when CrashReporter's developer mode has been enabled.

 I think this can be fixed by trapping the corresponding signal (SIGILL?),
 but I can't currently try because my Mac is under repair.

Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 I recently (r45928) took over partial maintainer-ship of gmp.[[BR]]
 As I understand the situation, this is an issue only when CrashReporter is
 enabled and the rare occasion when gmp is built.[[BR]]
 Unless there are any objections, I will close this ticket as wontfix.
