anyway, I have submitted a bug report 
(http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39435). We will see what the
GCC developers say about it, maybe they will exhibit a simple GMP program
showing the bug?

Note that if I remove either one of -mpowerpc64, -Wa,-mppc64, or -mcpu=970,
the compilation succeeds.
