gmp-4.2.1 make check problem on OpenSuSE 10.0

[James M Anderson]

Hello.  I have found a problem with "make check" on my OpenSuSE 10.0
system.  My sysadmin at work recently changed my system installation
to OpenSuSe 10.0 on my pc.  This already includes a gmp library
installed in the system area, but I wanted to install a new version of
gmp.  I need to use gcc 3.4.6 for compatibility with other software
rather than the gcc 4 installed with the system.

The configuration and build go ok, but when I run make check, t-sub
fails with a segmentation fault in urandom().

I have traced this down to the fact that when t-sub is executed, it
uses the sytem library libgmp.so.3 rather than the new libgmp.so.3 I
have just built.  If I manually set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have the build
directory/.libs set first before the system library paths, then
everything passes.

So, 

/configure --prefix=/aps3/ALBUS
make
make check

fails, but

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /aps3/ALBUS/anderson/C/gmp-4.2.1/.libs:{$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
make check

then works fine.
