    Maybe you could try to minimize your example to a MWE (minimum working example that demonstrates the issue) and then do a bug report against GHDL at https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/issues

    Try a question here: https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/issues . I have only used GHDL for VHDL, and it worked well for what I was doing with it, but the creator/chief maintainer(?) (Tristan Gingold) should be able to set your issue straight in a short while, and he is pretty active on github.
  • ghdl, how to include math_real?

    replying to myself: I just installed this nightly on a Win10 box and it seems to "work" based on minimal tests. Note that you need to install MinGW.

    Try looking at the nightly builds. I assume these build from the development trunk, so they should be the most recent versions.
