mpn_get_d broken on MIPS64 ?

Hi Torbjorn,
thanks for the quick reply!

configure was run without further arguments/options/environment variables.

This gcc version comes with OpenBSD 4.7. OpenBSD is in the (slow)
process of converting everything to pcc (http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/),
so it would be not helpful if gmplib only worked with certain gcc
versions.

Would it help the gmplib developers if I provided
an account on one of the machines in question (sgi-mips64-openbsd4.7)?

Thanks,

Matthias
