gcc compiler farm has a MIPS64 machine. Test this. It is likely an issue with ISAAC seeding.

Fixed on github (0.47). It was an issue with the ISAAC implementation, both seeding and returning a byte stream, as it mixes words and byte accesses. MPU is using ChaCha20 instead of ISAAC and did all of this back in April. The ChaCha20 core is specifically little-endian with mandated byte-swaps on BE, but still required care to get consistent seeding. I'll try to get a release out this week.

Version 0.47 passes tests on a MIPS64 big endian platform. The same platform shows the errors on 0.46.

v0.48 coming out today to fix some issues found: no logl in math library, and for 64-bit machines with 32-bit GMP library.

Ah, this sounds like the build failure I've seen on the unofficial x32 port. 0.48 uploaded, let's see how it behaves at https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=libmath-prime-util-gmp-perl Cheers, gregor -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at/ - Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member of VIBE!AT & SPI, fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe `- NP: Arlo Guthrie: Coming Into L.A.

The test output looks like the 32-bit/64-bit issue. From CPAN testers it looks like 0.48 should fix it. Show quoted text

Thanks for keeping this updated. I'll keep an eye on the tests.
