Your wish is granted.
Hugs doesn't use the GMP library and if it ever did it would restrict its use to the most portable subset. It seems like this discussion is only relevant to GHC and, perhaps, HBC which are willing to pay almost any cost for a few cycles more.
Actually, there is a generic GMP library that only uses C and not assembler (incidentally, the version that I happen to use). And the things we are discussing are perfectly valid from that viewpoint only. The assembler stuff is then only an optimization add-on. Hans Aberg
