Hello, Marc.

The same problem with gmp-4.3.1 has been demonstrated on: 

   Solaris 10 x86_64 + SunStudio Express 2009/03.

and the your cure also works. Exact system specification:

[andreev at jabba t]$ cc -V
cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_i386 Patch 124868-01 2007/07/12
[andreev at jabba t]$ uname -a
SunOS jabba 5.11 snv_109 i86pc i386 i86xpv
[andreev at jabba t]$ cat /etc/release 
                  Solaris Express Community Edition snv_109 X86
                           Assembled 23 February 2009
[andreev at jabba t]$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static
checking build system type... core2-pc-solaris2.11
checking host system type... core2-pc-solaris2.11
....
using ABI="64"
      CC="cc"
      CFLAGS="-xO3 -m64"
      CPPFLAGS=""
      MPN_PATH=" x86_64/core2 x86_64 generic"
....

Apparently, putting just "inline" also fails with a weird message about non-PIC code. At least "static inline" works...
