  ==================================
  2 of 9 tests failed

  ==================================
  
I am using gcc 4.2.2 on non-apple systems with a core 2 processor, and
there are no problems there.
  
  Additionally, the ./configure script set -march=k8, even though the  
  appropriate value would be -march=nocona. Did not change the test  
  failure of course, but not ideal on this platform?
  
Maybe, maybe not.  Apple never user any nocona (aka 64-bit Pentium 4)
processor.
  
  Building with Apple's supplied gcc [gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc.  
  build 5465)], still gives the ranlib messages above, but the checks  
  all pass.

Really?  Usually Apple's gcc releases miscompile gmp and just about
everything else.
