  As noted in an earlier report, I intend to raise the issue with the
  OpenBSD people.  Have you informed them of your findings?  If not, may I
  forward a copy of this mail to them?
  
I have not informed them.  You're welcome to forward my message.

  Thanks.  My real aim is to factor integers rather than to debug
  libraries and it is good to have a simple workaround, albeit at a cost
  of some performance.  That said, lower performance is far better than no
  performance at all.
  
SPARC machines are best used where heavyness is important, such as for
buoy weights.  :-) See also https://gmplib.org/gmpbench.html.
