Apparently this was forgotten for 4.2.3.

In 4.2.3, in C++, gmp.h always includes cstdio, but only declares the 
gmp_fprintf and co functions if stdio.h or cstdio was included before 
gmp.h, because the _GMP_H_HAVE_FILE macro doesn't get set otherwise. By 
the way, with glibc and g++, part of stdio.h already gets included 
indirectly by iosfwd, but it only defines __FILE_defined, which is not 
tested by _GMP_H_HAVE_FILE (don't know if it should be).

I also noticed that if I use the Sun compiler on linux-x86 (the compiler 
is common for x86 and x86_64), configure choses ABI=64, which obviously 
fails. Well I just set ABI=32 and there is no problem.
