Torbjörn,
    I also see this failure on 32-bit intel darwin9. The failing section of
t-constants.c appears to be the line...

CHECK_LIMB (PP_INVERTED, pp_inverted_calc);

since commenting out that line eliminates the t-constants testsuite failure.
When it is uncommented, the output from t-constants contains the line...

PP_INVERTED == 53e5645c, but pp_inverted_calc == 538ce830

Is that expected? Also, once the failure of the t-constants testcase
is suppressed, a couple new failures are exposed on 32-bit intel darwin9...

I assume these testcases are decoupled and don't rely on each other to function
properly.

ps I have found that on intel darwin9, I have use the Apple gcc-4.2 compiler
to avoid linkage issues (which I suspect are due to the use of __gnu_inline__
which the older gcc-4.0 doesn't understand). Otherwise, the linkage of
libgmp.3.dylib fails with the error...

ld: duplicate symbol ___gmpz_abs in .libs/compat.o and .libs/assert.o

Which MacOS X and Xcode release did you test gmp 5.0 on?
