  I wanted to compile GMP 4.1.4 on td176.testdrive.hp.com

  checking if .align assembly directive is logarithmic... configure: error: cannot assemble alignment test
  
Please see the [2004-09-23] item under http://swox.com/gmp/#STATUS.

In short, ia64-hp-hpux is an unsupported platform.  But there
is a workaround to make it work.
