  Torbjörn,
      I believe David is referring to the patch I proposed in...
  
  http://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-bugs/2010-January/001787.html
  
That patch does not affect an ABI=32 build.  (I am not trying to be a
nitpick, just trying to make sure I have not missed to evaluate a
proposed patch.)

  Unlike the previously proposed patches for this problem, this one
  eliminates all testsuite failures and the changes are contained to
  darwin to work around their assembler bugs.

Yes, it is crucial for ABI=64.

I believe that all Mac-related problems are now fixed in the repository
(http://gmplib.org:8000/gmp/) except this one:

  http://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-bugs/2010-January/001746.html

I have looked at that only briefly, and have failed to reproduce it on
other systems even with the compiler in C99 mode.

It is crucial that you grab a snapshot and check that things now indeed
work.  Snapshots are available from ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/snapshot/.
The first snapshot that will have these fixes is gmp-5.0.0-20100116.tar.lz.
