I deleted this line, and gmp compiled. Make check passed for all tests, 
but make install gave an error: the symbol table of libgmp.a didn't 
exist. I ran ranlib, and after that make install finished without 
errors. I have successfully compiled the demos and my own programs I 
wrote in Linux, so it looks like it's working. Thanks for the help,
