gmp-4.2 on G5 OSX 10.3.9

[Dominique Dhumieres]

I finally succeeded to pass the 'make check' of gmp-4.2 on
my G5 under OSX 10.3.9 using 

gcc (GCC) 4.2.0 20060429 (experimental)
g++ (GCC) 4.2.0 20060429 (experimental)

with the following configure flags

configure ABI=32 --enable-cxx CC='/sw/lib/gcc4/bin/gcc -fPIC' CXX='/sw/lib/gcc4/bin/g++ -fPIC'

without ABI=32, t-hamdist failed with a segmentation fault:

The last remaining problem is the following warning:

PASS: t-printf
Warning, sscanf("","%d",&x) doesn't return EOF.
This affects gmp_sscanf, tests involving it will be suppressed.
You should try to get a fix for your libc.
PASS: t-scanf
PASS: t-locale

All 3 tests passed

Any idea about it?
