  This is a bug report in the configure scripts in GMP 4.2.1 (2006-05-04).
  
  SYNOPSIS:
  
  --build ABI=longlong causes inconsistent .h files on UltraSPARC based
  systems running Solaris
  
  ENVIRONMENT:
  
  - UltraSPARC based systems, I tried SunBlade with UltraSPARC-II,
  UltraSPARC-III+ and Sun-Fire with UltraSPARC-T1
  - Solaris, I tried Solaris 2.9, Solaris 2.10
  - I tried three compilers: SunStudio 11 from Sun, GCC for SPARC
  Systems from Sun (see
  http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=44e24b9d ) and gcc
  version 3.4.5
  
  DESCRIPTION:
  
  Do
  
  ./configure --prefix=<your_install_path> --build=none ABI=longlong \
  CC=<your_cc_path>
  
  Then do
  
  make
  
And expect failures, I'd say.  No bug, user error.

ABI=longlong should not be expected to work.

>From where where did you get that option?  It is certainly not
in the manual.
