  Marcello,
     This is due to a bug in gmp 5.0.2, since fixed in gmp svn, which
  caused configure to improperly set RODATA for the llvm-gcc compiler.

It is not a bug in GMP when it fails to be compatible with quirks of a
compiler.

And why are you guessing that llvm-gcc is involved?

  You either need to build gmp 5.0.2 with clang or use the gmp trunk
  instead.

What is the "gmp trunk"?  If this is the main GMP repository, then this
is poor advice.
