This is a bug in the SysV assembler.  We have a workaround for the
mainline, I merged that into 5.0 now.  Here is a patch:

http://gmplib.org:8000/gmp-5.0/raw-rev/9c82f00d681e  

The patch to the file ChangeLog might not apply unless you have applied
earlier and later patched.  It is safe to ignore it.
