Reported error with "make check"

[Simon Fenney]

Dear all,
I was trying to build gmp 4.2.2 in order to eventually build the latest
gcc (which requires gmp).

I'm using the following version of gcc on redhat linux:
------------------------------------
gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.2.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--host=x86_64-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-56)
------------------------------------


The error report is:

------------------------------------

Please report to gmp-bugs at swox.com

I see (from a google search) that a couple of other people have
encountered this as well (and on other gmp versions) but I've not seen
any solutions.

Thanks
Simon
