Some co-workers started investigating this today, and found a patch from
Red Hat which apparently was not shared with bug-gmp.  Even with the
patch gmp still fails 19 out of 21 of its tests, so i'm not sure the
patch accomplishes much.  We're still investigating the issue.  Anyway,
i have attached the patch (by Philipp Knirsch <address@hidden>).
