Old follow-up:

It turned out those machines the reporters were using were in fact corei* 
processors.  The releases of gmp I packaged had outdated versions of 
config.guess (from GMP).  So I grabbed config.guess from gmp's trunk and 
patched it return 'corei' for gmp-5.0.1 and 'core2' for gmp-4.3.2, because 
those were the newest cpus that their respective configure{.ac}s were 
aware of.  All feedback on builds on their systems has been positive; 
'make check' passed.
