gmp make problem.

[R. Clayton]

I'm trying to install gmp 3.1.1 unpatched on a sparc

  cl uname -a
  SunOS clayton 5.7 Generic_106541-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

  cl ./config.guess
  sparcv9-sun-solaris2.7

and I've run into some problems.  Due to prior problems with just  using
"./configure", I ran configure with target = sparc, as recommended by the info
file:

  This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
  running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

  It was created by configure version 2.14a, executed with
   > ./configure  --prefix=/export/home/uf/rclayton/local --target=sparc

I went into gmp-3.1.1/libtool and changed the archive_cmds environment variable
to remove "-assert pure-text"; that fixed "make" but broke "make check":

Just to be clear:  the problem seems to be the "-assert pure-text" included in
the ld statement above.  The problem with "make check" is almost certainly a
result of me fiddling with libtool and will dissapear once the assert problem
is fixed.
