GMP upgrade to 4.2.4 leads to errors in PARI/GP

[Dennis Clarke]

To sum up:

    * you upgrade libgmp to 4.2.4
    * nothing else changed
    * you get errors that never existed before

Thus :

    GMP 4.2.4 is broken.

        [ x ]  YES

        [   ]  NO

Just trying to be clear here, because it isn't working for me either but I
just didn't have the right words to get it out. I think I found them. See
above.

ps: yes, I am using humour. You may not detect it because it is subtle.
