Some quick replies:
Why should we put this in %doc? How is it remotely helpful?
Maybe %doc is not quite the right place, but as far as I can see it is only an example makefile, hence documentation, or similar. It certainly should not be executable, nor should it be mislabelled as a shell script and definitely does not belong in /usr/bin.
Ah, sorry, didn't realize I was putting it in /usr/bin. I would prefer to not install it anywhere, I think.
This is poor coding practice by upstream, but it isn't a blocker.
Still, please try to contact upstream and if they reply put a copy of the relevant reply here. or state that they are non-responsive. I note that te
Sorry, I don't see any sort of contact info or bug tracking system on the home page.
Again, upstream's fault...
This is a blocker. I cannot confirm the md5sum without this, which is required for review - we need to build against an upstream tarball somewhere, and agree on its location. http://www-lmc.imag.fr/CASYS/LOGICIELS/givaro/Downloads/ may have what we need.
Eh, it won't be an issue *after* review though. I can update to the most recent tarball and you can verify against that md5sum (or, please, sha1sum).

gmp++ is C++ bindings for gmp, I think
So is this two separate projects bundled into one? I am totally confused.
It's developed by the givaro folks, and they distribute it with givaro. I don't believe it's a library that anyone else is supposed to use (at least not yet). But you can try asking them if you want a better explanation.
